So I have a notebook that I’ve been practicing the Hiragana characters in, and I’ve just been writing the characters over and over again more than 100 times each, by the end of me writing seven lines of one character over and over again I will see only a slight Improvement, got any tips for writing characters better.
edit: as a side note I also have no idea where to get started with kanji after learning after learning hiragana and Katakana would numbers be a good first step

I didn’t really got what you mean by only a slight improvement. Hiragana and katakana could very easily be learnt by just writing them over and over again. Shouldn’t take more than a few hours. And you should definitely be able to master them in a couple of days. As for kanji there are many methods available. You can follow the book Remembering the Kanji. That’s a good book, though won’t teach you how to read them on first volume. Or at least that’s what I am doing, every one is different.
Especially if you’re a beginner, lines are no good. Use grids, where you have quadrants as a guide to where the stroke starts, goes through, and ends.
Also, what are you using as a guide? If the samples you’re basing off of doesn’t indicate the said grid, find something else. Like [this](https://youtu.be/uJaBuAdVKmY).
Keep writing ✍🏽 don’t get in your head about it 😉 you got it
For kanji, something like [wanikani](https://www.wanikani.com/) or an srs app like [this one](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/ikanji-learn-japanese-kanji/id311920885?l=ja) is a good starting point….I personally used the latter…but I hear good things about wanikani too so its up to your learning style
私は日本人です。日本人が実際に学校で行われている練習を紹介します。小学１年生の時に、平仮名とカタカナを学び、小学２年生の時に、「漢字練習帳」というのをもらいます。それは、小学生の年度が上がるたびに、その年齢のレベルにあったものが学校から渡されます。なので、Amazonなどで、低学年の漢字練習帳を買って練習をするといいと思います！
Try the app Write It! Japanese. Also the app Scripts. They help you learn the writing systems.
