Chinese Characters radicals (部首, bù shǒu) are very essential part of the Mandarin Chinese language. The graphical radicals are often associated with the characters, and provide meanings and sounds to the accompanied characters. If we know the radicals, we can guess the meanings of the corresponding characters. Further, the radicals are also used to list the characters in a Chinese dictionary.

In this book (Part 1), I have explained the 50 must-know and commonly used Chinese Radicals. Each of the radicals are explained with Chinese characters, pinyin, and English meanings. There are five example characters to explain the numerous meanings of the corresponding radical. All the characters and radicals are explained with pinyin and English. Also, for the complicated radicals and characters, the book provides you alternative interpretations.
