RADICALS

You have already learned many radicals and used many of them in other characters. Read each of these racidals outloud, and make sure you know their meaning. -- **人口文月日友一小白上下山野土手戈中言十** Radicals are the building blocks of Chinese characters. The more radicals you know, the easier it will be to learn more characters. Here are characters that you now know. Print these off and circle each radical in each character. Remember, there may be more than one radical in a character or the character may be a radical by itself.. 人 大 太 天 日 月 明 白又 友 文 這 一 二 三 十 百 不 小 上下 山 也有土 地 有 在 手 戈 找 我 沒 口中 言 說  Write down any observations or feelings you have about characters. This is where characters start to become fun--when you realize that most of them are built on "root" radicals! You're done for the day. I hope you dream about radicals!
