All Kanji Radicals and their Meanings 

This video is best viewed on a computer screen or TV as a lot of the writing is a bit small for a phone screen.
Learning kanji can seem daunting to beginners, but if you familiarize yourself with the radicals (or at the very least, the most used radicals), it's not as hard as it may seem. I go through all the kanji radicals (by brush stroke), explain what they mean, and sometimes give examples of kanji where you'll find them.
This video is meant to be a crash course on radicals. If there's interest, I might make more in-depth videos for the major radicals or about the major kanji...

Please don't learn 100% of your Japanese from me! I'm a highly-experienced J-E translator and teacher of dance and theater, but a beginning level teacher when it comes to Japanese. It's also best to learn from a variety of sources (preferably native Japanese) and to hear the concepts explained by multiple people (again, preferably native Japanese). Here are some other great resources:
