1. Doesn’t exist. Use anki decks.

2. Duolingo eventually introduces Kanji in some exercises, but there isn’t a dedicated Kanji section has there is for Katakana and Hiragana.

3. There is no

4. ないですね

5. Learning Kanji that way doesn’t make much sense anyways. Learn them slowly through words and context. Get a textbook.

6. It’s at WaniKani.com

7. Duolingo is supposed to introduce you to a language, it shouldn’t be your main/only source.

   Edit: ‘kanji study’ and ‘kanjiverse’ are pretty cool apps(android)

8. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/learn-japanese-kanji/id1078107994

   This app is my absolute favorite for learning Kanji. Should be the equivalent of what you’re looking for on Duolingo.

9. Kanji aren’t “letters”, they are words. You want few thousands separate words there?

   Kana are the syllabary “alphabets” and it makes sense to learn them. You learn kanji as words, because they are words. They usually have one meaning (or few very similar). Like 狐 means fox and fox only. It literally is pronounced *kitsune* (or *ko* in onyomi reading), but regardless of the reading, it’s one word. You can’t use kanji to build a different word, because it would be as You used a word, not just letters/syllables.

10. Kanji! Is great and makes you write from memory

11. EXACTLY

12. That’d be a big tab!

13. Highly recommend the Kanji Study app. It’s free to use & structures reading/writing lessons from very common kanji to super complex kanji.

14. I propose using wanikani

15. I would get a textbook or use an app.

    Also, Duolingo shouldn’t be your primary source of learning Japanese

16. Kanji isn’t really the kind of thing where you can just look at a list and memorize the characters. There are thousands of letters, and they each read differently depending on context, so it’s more effective to just learn the words that those kanji are used in.

    Technically you could go through a list of kanji and memorize each character and their multiple readings, but even if you do that and get familiar with general rules like when to use the on-yomi and kun-yomi, there are plenty of words that break those rules like 日曜日, as well as characters that have multiple on-yomi like the character 言 that reads differently in the words 無言 and 宣言, or characters with multiple kun-yomi like 行 in the words 行く or 行う, so you’d be better off just learning the vocab and just getting a feel for how each one reads.

    Besides, attempting to memorize every kanji would be like trying to memorize a dictionary. It’s not exactly feasible, but even if you did it, it’s probably not very practical.

17. Why do you sound like you’re panicking?????
