Hey guys! I'm quite confused about these words when they are used to refer to a group of people or things which share the same characteristics.
kind, type, sort, class, category, class, classification
Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

The words, "Kind, Type, Sort, Class, Category, and Classification" are Nouns they basically are define as words used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things.
They all generally mean the same thing They are words we use to refer to a group of people or things which share the same characteristics. We use these words very often when we describe things.
We use the words: sort, type and kind as vague expressions to suggest that we think something is like something else. We do this either because we are not sure, or because we do not want to be too specific and too direct.
examples:
"Is this some sort of test?"
"this type of heather grows better in a drier habitat"
"all kinds of music"

@sean_xinye Don't mention it! I hope you have a good time here in this website. Keep on participating with discussions and interacting with other people will definitely let you hone more your knowledge and your English comprehension (the way to communicate/write). Have a good one!

It sounds like you might need to take an English class to help you with these. It is hard to explain if there is nothing to work with.

Learning to write in English first might make it easier for you @sean_xinye the internet has many helpful tools like YouTube for example.

i've been learning English for, like more than 15 years, LoL ... and well, it doesn't help, anyway. Learning a language is sometimes billed as transformative. For me, it's justified. like, let me have something to think about all the time. haha but it's good.
