How can I remember the Kanji characters easily?
Nin hao, I know that Kanji is very important when learning Chinese and I was wondering, How can I remember the Chinese character, what it means, and how to pronounce it? Can you please help me so I can learn chinese better.
Kanji refers to Japanese. The Chinese term is hanzi.
For starters here is a most common characters list:

Next, use NCIKU and try a search on one of these characters. At the bottom of each character‘s page shows the radical components. You can click on each individual piece and keep going smaller and thus can learn the makeup of the common characters.
For example扣 kòu is a verb meaning to button among other things thus a 手 radical on the left and a 口 radical on the right for pronunciation guide. You see? Most characters are more or less like this 扣.
