I don't know if this has been posted before, but I found a great site for those of you trying to learn some kanji (better yet, it's the kanji that's on the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test!). Here's the site:

The Kanji SITE - A guide for students of Japanese Kanji

Once you go there, click the Start! button, and you'll be asked which you want: 4, 3, or 2 (the different levels of Kanji on the JLPT). So far, I don't think they have 1 up there, but they are most likely working on it!

They even have some additional words that involve the Kanji you have chosen. An example is that the Kanji for one also has the Kanji for January (month ONE) under it, and several other related words! How awesome!

Even better, it's got a side window so that you can see the Kanji on the left, and bring up the info on the right. Sweet layout!

For those of you who don't know, JLPT starts with level 4 as the easiest, and level 1 being the hardest. While they estimate it's only 150 hours of study for level 4, level 1 requires an estimate of at least 900 hours! So you better get working!

Hmmm... it is a good site to see what kanji you are going to need to learn but it doesn't seem to touch stroke order. Thank you for the heads up. Though I do have a question for you; so level 4 of the JLPT is actually the lowest level? Huh... I didn't know that. See, I heard that I was level two, but I can't really read kanji too well. Would that really mean I'm a level three and not a level two?

Yeah, 4 is the lowest. No one can tell you what level you are; just have to take the test yourself. : p
