Let's do Kanji Puzzle!!!

Hi all!
How are you doing?
Are you still struggling to learn Kanji??
Hmm.. don't hate Kanji.
They're so cute, aren't they?
Let me give you a tip to love 'em.
海　池　滝
These Kanji are in the same group.
Do you know why?

Yes, They have the same particle '氵' which is called さんずい(sanzui).
And basically氵means 'water'.
Therefore 
海 means sea.
池 means pond.
滝 means waterfall.
It's easy to imagine,isn't it?
So in this lesson, I'm gonna teach you 部首(bushu) such as 氵.
According to study, there're over 200 Bushu in Kanji.
So let's have a look from 1 to 100 for now. :)
Huh? That's a lot?
Sry I'm joking. :P
I'm gonna show you only 7 types of 部首.
That's enough for learning basic Kanji (I mean 常用漢字).
And when you learn new Kanji you'll notice Kanji has other particle as you know.
So after this lesson, you'll be able to guess what that Kanji means. :)
This is why I said Kanji is like a puzzle.
Sounds fun, doesn't it? :)
