Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a novel method to learn Chinese, beginning with the basic building blocks of the language: its radicals. The author argues that learning the radicals first leads to a more thorough understanding of characters, as these radicals provide insight into their meanings and help readers remember how they are written. The author covers 214 radicals and provides a list of example characters, grouped under each radical, to help cement their understanding. The book places special emphasis on the importance of forming characters from radicals and understanding how they are combined to create new words. This method allows learners to connect with the language on a deeper level by seeing the evolution of characters and words firsthand.
