Tips for learning kanji

First off, Duolingo is not a great way to learn Japanese for obvious reasons. I written about why it's not a great way (I'm in the process of moving these posts to my sideblog). Of course, Duolingo doesn't teach Kanji

To learn Kanji, there are two method. Remembering the Kanji, which breaks up the Kanji into radicals and use mnemonics to remember them. Wanikani is the other, which is an all in one solution, that teaches you radicals, kanji, and vocabulary in one full swoop, but it's a paid service (although you can do lifetime, but maybe wait until December, which they have a sale on).
Either way, it's going to take some work.

I have been having some really good success with the Japanese From Zero books - starting from working through the Kana reading/writing, and I'm just starting to get into Kanji. They have a site also with videos, learning materials etc...both for Japanese as well as Korean now also.
