A RADICAL APPROACH TO

THE SECRET TO LEARNING 1500+ KANJI

Master the radicals that appear in 75% of all jōyō kanji!



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.

on the left side or the right side.

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.”
