How long did it take you to understand Kanji? (~ 2,000 characters) - 06-16-2011, 12:33 PM

Hey there,

I'm able to read and write most Hiragana now, and I'm starting to study more Katakana as well. I'm still having a bit of difficulty differentiating (shi & tsu, ri & n) シ & ツ, and リ & ン.

I'm mainly concerned about Kanji at the moment, because most writing that you'll find is composed of Hiragana and Kanji. I can probably recognize the order of Katakana characters to understand the foreign words. I made flashcards for Hiragana, but I'll probably write an application for Kanji as there are too many characters for flashcards. Is this an accurate listing of the characters?

How long did it take you guys to fully understand Kanji? What do you believe is a reasonable amount to study at a time? I was thinking about trying 100 at a time, but I'm not sure if that would be an overload of information.

Thanks for any help!
