The Chinese language is traditionally taught through a series of between roughly 180 and 215 radicals. These radicals are then used to form the characters of the Chinese language. Chineasy has broken down this collection of characters into their most basic and recurring forms, allowing students to learn fewer and simpler radicals that we have termed building blocks. One building block, or a specific compound form of the building block can be combined with one or more other characters to make a compound character. Two or more independent characters can be placed next to one another to make phrases. In compounds, a whole new character is created; in phrases, the placement of characters next to one another gives a new meaning to the collection of characters. This principle of building blocks is what makes Chineasy so easy!

中文一般是由180到215自由基组成。这些自由基组成了复杂中文。“简单中文”将中文分成多个基础形式，帮助学生学习简单的自由基。一个方块字或者自由基的组合可以和别的方块字组成一个新的词语、文字。两个或两个以上的文字可以组合到一起组成一句话，在组合的过程中，一个全新的字便被造了出来，改变字的组合形式，它们便组成一个意义截然不同的新句子。这些卡片让中文学习变得异常简单！
