I have memorised hiragana and katakana and now i am about to start kanji. Wherever i refer to for it seems to give me a new approach. Some say memorise kanji and then do vocabulary, some say only learn english meaning of kanji and then learn vocabulary, some say learn vocabulary with sentence, and so on. Even if i choose one of these options i don’t know what to refer to. I tried starting using jlpt level N5, but its vocabulary used kanji outside of the kanji in jlpt N5. I try watching a youtube video and most of the time it is someone trying to sell me something. Can anyone guide me a bit and refer some book or website where i can start kanji and vocabulary.

Thank you so much

I started learning Japanese a couple weeks ago from this guide “[https://www.tofugu.com/learn-japanese/“\](https://www.tofugu.com/learn-japanese/%E2%80%9C) \- Tofugu, i have learnt hiragana and started learning katakana, this guide tells me to now start learning kanji along the way. It tells me to first learn radicals, then kanji that is made from that radicals and then vocabulary from the kanji learnt.

It says to learn \~ 2000 kanji and \~ 6000-7000 vocabulary using those kanji

I have a list of \~ 2000 kanji and the radical they are made with from this guide only, so for learning vocabulary, i wanted to ask should i just google “vocab words made from ‘xx’ kanji” and start learning those words or is there some other way as well?

Should i also while learning include non kanji vocab words along the way?

Thank you
