你好！So what are these radicals? They have nothing to do with politics, rest assured.
A radical (in Chinese terms) is just a part of a character. Some characters are made up of only one radical, while others are made of four! Yet what's great about these radicals is that they help break up characters so that they are easier to understand and remember.
Each radical has a meaning that has somehow led to the formation of that character.
The following video gives a great explanation and examples of radicals. Make sure to check it out!

How was that? Was it helpful? Another great thing about this video is that it shows the best way to learn characters: by visualizing things. I believe this is the only way to learn Chinese characters fast and effectively. A fantastic website that I have been using which teaches you vocabulary in this manner is Memrise.com. I highly recommend it.
再见！
