AN INTRODUCTION TO RADICALS
Hello there! Are you starting your kanji learning adventure
and noticing that it’s a big, scary world out there? 2,000
kanji is a lot! Well, this book puts your fears to rest. You’ll
learn kanji using one very powerful method.
And jōyō kanji? These are the 2000 most commonly
used kanji characters, as set by the Japanese Ministry
of Education. Knowing these is necessary to reach a
comfortable literacy level as possessed by Japanese adults.
By learning the top 50 radicals. These 48 radicals (plus two
bonus radicals) appear in over 75% of the jōyō kanji!
What are radicals?
They each carry their own meanings and sounds. Radicals
are the building blocks of kanji. Simply by knowing the
radicals inside of unknown kanji, you get an instant general
understanding of the kanji you haven’t yet learned.
By the time you’re done with this book, you’ll easily
recognize, read and know the meanings of 75% of the
must-know kanji.
Simply put, you’ll know more Japanese words and read and
understand a ton of Japanese!

How to use this book
There are over 2,000 jōyō kanji. How long would it
take to memorize all of these kanji one by one? Years!
If you try to learn kanji while ignoring radicals, you will
need to learn each stroke separately. Some kanji have
over 20 strokes! For example:
The powerful technique in this book will help you
understand radicals, so you can recognize them inside of
kanji characters. Soon you’ll be seeing kanji as just a group
clearly easier than remembering 20 strokes, and most kanji
are made up of only 2 radicals!
In this book we introduce the top 50 kanji radicals;
these are the most common radicals you will find in
everyday situations.
The kanji examples on the main pages, and the first three
kanji in each radical section of the appendix, are the most
frequently used. We recommend learning these first.
Most of the vocabulary is designed for beginner
levels, associated with the JLPT Levels 4 and 5. We’ve also
included some useful examples which are at an advanced
level. These are indicated with the following icon:
Advanced
Feel free to skip over these advanced readings and come
back to them at a later stage.
Good luck on your great kanji learning adventure!
Each radical component is displayed over two pages. The
first page shows the visual aspects of the radical; the shape,
name, meaning and stroke order. The second page gives
kanji examples and associated vocabulary for both the On
and Kun readings. The appendix displays more example
vocabulary attached to each reading.

Types of radicals
Radicals are generally formed from characters that have
been simplified. Some radicals retain a square shape, while
many others are distorted to fit into the block format of the
kanji character.

There is , which is derived and simplified from
, meaning ”city.” The radical is placed on the right side of
the kanji. For example, , .
meaning.
and
(“human”)
and are derived from (“heart”)
and are derived from (“water”)
and (“sword”)
and (“fire”)
and (“animal”)
and (“point out”)
and (“clothing”)
and (“hand”)
And , which is derived and simplified from
, meaning ”hill.” The radical is placed on the left side of
the kanji. For example, , , .
for “moon” or “meat”
as radicals. The form is the same,
just means “moon.” Of course, as
“moon” was created to symbolize “crescent moon.”
But meaning ”meat” is derived from
(“meat”). So this radical is often used with kanji related
to the body. For example, (”arm”), (“shoulder”),
(”chest”), and so on.”
