Every Chinese character tells a story through its components. The character 想 (to think) combines elements suggesting sitting under a tree (木), looking with your eyes (目), and feeling with your heart (心).

By understanding these building blocks, you'll recognize patterns across thousands of characters and remember them much more easily.

  • Learn 214 radicals that form the building blocks of all characters
  • See visual breakdowns with etymology and meaning connections
  • Recognize character families and related vocabulary
