Chines radicalsFemale radicalchinese radicalsTo memorize Chinese characters, break them down into their components (radicals) and use mnemonic devices like creating stories or associations for them. Consistent practice, such as writing by hand, using flashcards, and learning characters in context, is also crucial for success. Breaking down characters Deconstruct into radicals: Instead of memorizing characters as a whole, learn to recognize and understand their individual components, called radicals. This can help you guess the meaning of new characters. Use known characters: Build new characters from ones you already know, using components or structures you've already learned. Using memory techniques Create stories and visualizations: Make up stories or visualizations that connect a character's components and meaning. You can even incorporate pinyin into these stories. Link characters with colors: Assign colors to different tones to help you internalize pronunciation without relying solely on pinyin, especially for intermediate learners. Use flashcards: Create physical or digital flashcards with the character on one side and the pinyin, meaning, and maybe even a story or image on the other. Practicing and reinforcing Write by hand: Practice writing characters repeatedly to reinforce recognition and memorization. Say the pinyin and meaning out loud as you write. Learn in context: Study characters as part of words and sentences, not in isolation. This helps you understand their meaning in different situations. Read extensively: Read books, even children's books or parallel texts with side-by-side translations, to see characters in action. Be consistent: Practice daily by setting a manageable goal, like learning a few new characters and reviewing older ones. Other tips Stay patient: Memorizing a large number of characters takes time and persistence, so be patient with yourself. Use digital tools: Utilize apps and websites designed for language learning, such as flashcard apps like Anki.How did people decide which part of the character is a radical for it?Here’s a master list of Chinese radicals that I found on Pinterest. Very helpful for those who hope to read and write Chinese characters.The vast majority (around 80%) of Chinese characters are made up of a radical (the general meaning) and a phonetic. Radical 女 nǚ (woman) and phonetic 馬 mǎ (horse) = 媽 mā, mother (your mum sounds like a horse). But a small minority are pictograms, that is to say a picture of the thing they represent. Pictograms are the earliest characters, thousands of years old, but many are still used every day. If you look at the oracle bone script for rat, tiger and elephant you’ll see they are clearly pictures of the animal they signify. But if you look at the modern versions, you’ll notice something odd, they’re all rotated 90 degrees onto their sides. Why? Why are all these characters written with the animals balancing on their tails? Well, it’s for a straight-forward, practical reason. For a couple thousand years before paper was invented writing materials were limited. We had silk (expensive), bronze (expensive and impractical), and oracle bones (religious use only). And one more… That was cheap, plentiful, durable, and easy to erase and rewrite characters. The wonder that is… Bamboo! It was cut into strips, and tied into books. Long thin strips of bamboo contributed to the Chinese custom of writing vertically, from top to bottom (and right to left). But it also meant that it’s much easier to write some characters length-ways so that they easily fit onto the strip. So that’s it, mystery solved. That’s why a lot of Chinese picture characters are written at a right angle.

We can pronounce o first, and keep your tongue in original position, then use your hand to flatten your mouth to the sides. 2. Notes: your tongue should be back and up , but don't roll and touch the palate.
