1. The characters that you have just learned are all “radicals”. Radicals are simple characters that contain a single picture or idea.
2. There are about 200 radicals used in Chinese: You have already learned a quarter of them!
3. EVERY other Chinese character is made up by combining these 200 radicals together.
4. In the next level, you will rst learn a few more radicals. Then you will look at how these radicals are combined to form some combination characters.
5. As before, some of these combinations make perfect sense, while others may seem a bit... abstract.
6. Just look at the really abstract ones as being an excuse to let your imagination run wild!
