Learning the necessary characters used to write even simple Chinese sentences can be a long and arduous process.

These groups of characters all share common root symbols known as radicals or relate to a particular theme or topic such as colors, numbers, animals, or body parts. Pronunciations, meanings and vocabulary compounds are provided for each character in the group.
