The best website to learn Kanji

And you should also learn kanji starting from easy one every time.

We usually use ひらがな, カタカナkatakana for loan word and 漢字kanji characters.

Japanese people usually learn kanji starting from 6 years old.

Children are from 6 to 12 y.o. learn 1026 kanji at elementary school in 2020, children are from 13 to 15 y.o. learn 1110 kanji at junior high school in 2020, and children are from 16 to 18 learn 1945 kanji at high school.
