The Chinese characters are simple and easy to understand. Understanding comes when you analyze the Chinese characters and see that all of them consist of simple radicals in different combinations.
There are 214 radicals in the Chinese language. One third of them are more or less often repeated in different Chinese characters. The rest of the radicals are less often used.
You will easily learn the most often used radicals because they are very simple in their structures and consist of a smaller number of strokes. The rest radicals will be learned in the course of your learning practice.
