You told us four months ago you're taking a Japanese class. The class hasn't taught you the hiragana or katakana yet?

I honestly can't tell exactly what you're trying to say. Did you read the wikipedia link? Look on the left, there may be a translation of that article into your native language.

If you mean how many kanji are there - more than you will ever need to actually need to know.

I gave you the answer you NEED, not the answer you WANT. From your posts so far, it looks like all of your Japanese studies have been a complete waste of time. I can't even imagine what kind of "course" you took that didn't even introduce the writing system. If you paid for the course, get your money back.

A textbook will teach you the language AND the writing system at the same time. There is no point learning the writing system without learning the language. There is no point learning the language without learning the writing system.

It doesn't matter how many hiragana and katakana there are....you have to learn ALL of them.

It doesn't matter how many kanji there are....it is impossible (and unnecessary) to learn all of them.

If you had gotten a textbook several months ago (as I recommended), you could have learned a lot by now. Instead you have learned nothing.
