What's the best way to memorise Kanji?
How do you learn Kanji at school?
You read something. Then you see an unfamiliar character. You have to write it down, right? Do teachers tell you all of the readings or just the one you need? Please tell me what's next! Do I really have to write the Kanji till I finally got it or there is an easier way? I'd be really thankful if you tell me about the whole process.

Question

Answer

In Japanese elementary school, there are homework to write kanji everyday.  Maybe I wrote 50 kanji on a day. I think writing is necessary to memories kanji.
After you memories kanji a little, you don't have to write them so many. You should read and make sentences which include kanji.

I hope you can memories kanji and use them!!
Thank you for reading my poor English.

Answer

My belief is that you should read a lot of them in context.

If I were you I would do this:
1. Find good elementary (children's) books or online texts with kanji in them.
2. Read it attentively to get the story first.  Reread until you get the meaning clearly.
3. Read it again writing the kanji down (as well as noting other new words).

Do this for as many texts as you can.
kanji is also words like any other, so you need to learn them together with their usage context.
I advise against studying kanji separately.  Just do it together with other regular words.
