Is it possible to get a sheet of radicals and their corresponding meanings?

I think it will help me identify new (and old) characters better.

Hi, Andrew. Thanks for the request. I think the list may help others as well. Here is the link(it is in Yellowbridge): http://www.yellowbridge.com/chinese/radicals.php

hey guys (whoever even comes online)

if you guys want to access radicals REALLY quickly and conveniently provided you use FIREFOX.

install this plugin (for mozilla) and goto radicals from this page.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3349

its really easy to install (on mac or pc).

then when you roll your cursor over ANY chinese character on any internet site it pops up with the chinese word larger, with pinyin and definition. it does multiple word phrases too, such as, "gou4 wu4 zhong1 xin1".

the site for radicals (back on topic) http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=radicals

this site also has a ridiculously useful dictionary that you can type english or pinyin or chinese characters in to without having to select one of the three (like many other dictionary sites)

peace
