I’ve been recently studying Mandarin, and I wanted to learn how to deconstruct characters into their radicals. There are numerous guides on why how when you should do that, but at the end of the day it all comes down to cramming the components. I use Pleco for most of my Chinese studying and I wanted to import the 100 most common radicals into my flashcards, so that I can get tested on them. The issue was that it’s not available in Pleco, so I had to do some file format wizardry to convert it from a table to the XML file format that Pleco supports. I don’t want others to have to go through this process, so I’d like to share my flashcards. I hope the gods of Google Search Algorithms will push this page to the top results for those who need it.

Download the .xml file onto your phone and import the flash cards from the app menu.

Select Import and Choose the file
