Chinese radical dictionary

Chinese radical dictionary

The Chinese script is the only logographic writing system still in Daily use in the world today. Unlike the alphabetic systems used by most languages, Chinese script is made up of Characters, the majority of which are “pictophonetic”. Most consist of one component indicating the sound of the character, the phonetic, combined with one semantic component, the signal or radical,    though in some cases the original semantic connection has become obscure, owing to changes in character meaning over time.

This course is designed for absolute beginners, or someone who already has some basic knowledge of Chinese but still find the characters are difficult to remember,perfect for HSK student and also kids are welcome for the course.

This course can be divided into three parts at each lesson,
