When I learn a new Kanji, I break it down to its radicals and make more or less a little "story" or mnemonic for it. Then I write it a couple of times while reciting this mnemonic. The rest does a SRS.
I write it in my notebook that's set aside for Japanese only. I practice writing it many times so I can get the stroke order down and make it neater to write (and smaller; usually when I start it's huge, ha) and I make small notes on what the kanji means in Hiragana on the side, along with a few examples of words or sentences the kanji is used in. That way, if I'm reading something and come across a kanji I know I've seen but forgot what it means, I can flip through my notebook and find it.
ohh okay, i understand now. Thank you for answering my questions, im so glad. How both of you spend your time to learn this language ? how many hours ?- Depends on the day, but normally around an hour. In this hour I do Kanji and grammar. When I have free time or have to wait, e.g. for the bus, I use Anki on my phone to learn vocab.
- I practice my kanji recognition here and by reading some novels or manga written in Japanese. For speaking practice, I talk to some of my Japanese-speaking friends so they can correct my mistakes. This isn't available every day, but I try to get some speaking practice in, even if it's just going along with an audio CD. I also sing Japanese songs to my daughter and we'll sit and watch subbed anime. A lot of my hobbies have the Japanese language in it so for me, I suppose I spend more hours than usual on practice, even when it's just immersion. I'd say somewhere between 5 and 8 hours can be spent on practice for me.
write, use and repete.

I will implement a feature where you can have a kanji worksheet print out for you to practice your kanji writing. I believe that writing the kanji is one of the best way to memorize them.- thank you so much you all !
- I personally struggle with kanji's writting too; so here are a couple of versions of kanji practicing sheets:
Tipical or for kids: http://adf.ly/1Sz6AE
Version 2 or more adult: http://adf.ly/1Sz6Go
Version 3, for essays: http://adf.ly/1Sz6Mt
Good, luck. ^^ - practice*
yes :3 i just think what it sounds like too- thank you ! :)
I would really recommend something like James Heisig's Remembering the Kanji, used in combination with Anki, or Wanikani by Tofugu. Both break down kanji into radicals and then use mnemonics to help you remember what they look like, their meaning or a keyword associated with their meaning, and how to write them. I went through RTK a couple months ago and could not recommend it enough.
