📖 Study Guide & Stroke Order Rules
Every complex JLPT N3–N1 Kanji is built from 2 to 4 recurring radical components. The semantic radical hints at the meaning (e.g., 氵 water in 海 sea, 泳 swim, 洗 wash), while the phonetic component often gives the Onyomi reading.
- Write from top to bottom (上から下へ) and left to right (左から右へ).
- Horizontal strokes precede vertical strokes when crossing (横が先、縦が後).
- Draw the outer enclosure before filling the inside, then close the bottom frame last.
