I have been wanting to know this for the longest! but... for some reason, my college doesn't teach Japanese, which is stupid, but I have had this on my mind for the longest, and... I wonder if anyone HERE, knows. :)
you can just google "hiragana/katakana charts" and go to images, you'll find a bunch of them :p... I need the letters... one by one,,, ;):)
kanji has thousands of characters, but you can look for "grade 1 kanji" and such to find the most commonly used ones :0https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana

cant really find the kanji one too well, but search around and maybe youll find it?
My sensei told me 9000 kanji characters was the bare minimum :>>>>> killmeGood luck finding a list for Kanji. There are well over 5,000 Kanji characters, but I think 5k is about what one needs to be "fluent" in reading it. These are iconographs that use "radicals" rather than letters. Basically, each Kanji breaks down in to component pieces. There's no real Kanji alphabet per se, though you can find an online Kanji dictionary that lets you search by radical.
I only know this because I had to translate Japanese business cards, and I don't know Japanese at all. I had to search every Kanji character by radical until I found the right ones. It's a serious pain in the ***, and I hope Japan keeps moving away from it.
(S)he may be screwing with you. The JLPT1, for all its flaws, actually tests reading comprehension, Kanji usage, and grammar well afaik and requires only about 2,000 Kanji/10,000 words to pass. There are just over 2k "Joyo Kanji" (regular use Kanji) according to Japan's ministry of education, and with only 1,903 of the most commonly used Kanji, you can hit approx 95% reading comprehension for typical reading needs. The most common 90,000 words in Japanese only use combinations of 4,606 Kanji, thus about 5k will cover most anything the average person needs. I can believe 9,000 if you want to read classical Japanese literature, but not for pop literature or functional literacy.My sensei told me 9000 kanji characters was the bare minimum :>>>>> killme
Last I heard, many were moving away from it. Japanese students stop learning Kanji in their public education at the Middle School level. Granted, that's only the regular-use characters, but the fact that university students don't learn it unless they need to for technical terms in their field tells it is in the process of phasing out in lieu of Hira/Kata. I was wrong once though, so it could theoretically happen again. :pand I don't think Japan is moving away from kanji anytime soon.
Okay, in actual context, that's actually extremely likely, knowing her.(S)he may be screwing with you.

:) I don't think I will remember that, considering that I don't understand it AND, that all of the names look the same to me.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana
