In my experience in learning Japanese Kanji has been helpful to me. I don't know that many kanji, but one thing I did knowtice that was very helpful to me is...魳, 鮃, 鯉 These are examples of kanji, they all are fish. They have a small kanji for fish within them. I know by looking at it that it is a fish. This rule doesn't apply to everything I suppose, but it did help me.

What I find hard with Kanji is that they have different readings. Which can be confuseing with peoples names.
