わたしはたいくつ。いくつ漢字学んだ。

おお、そのみえるよい。

あの。。。we need the experienced ones back! I think it is going to take a long time to become competent with Kanji, but frequency is the key to remember new characters. in a way learning on the computer I think makes it a little easier. for instance: if you press spacebar after typing みえる it will automatically turn into 見える and from that I can establish 見 is look (looking, watching, etc.). so I've gotten myself into the habit of converting the Hiragana into Kanji as I'm typing, and in this way made associations between the Romaji I've picked up watching anime, and the Kanji which represent them.
similarly using jisho.org as an example: じしょconverts into 辞書 = dictionary. 辞 = language, dialect, word(s) etc & 書 = document, handwriting, calligraphy, etc, hence we get dictionary.

other ways I've found to be helpful are 'flash card' games, it is similar to how I was taught English when I was young. oh, and i shop reasonably frequently in Asian supermarkets which is pretty fun working out Kanji/words via the food products. 　

はじめまして。てくださいわたしへ話す。がんばります。
