原yuán
originally, in the first place. 10 strokes, radical 厂, first met in HSK 2.
What 原 is made of
厂 (chǎng, cliff) and 泉 (quán, spring).
厂 carries the meaning — cliff — and 泉 carries the sound.
How to write 原
Strokes 1–2 write 厂, then strokes 3–10 write 泉.
Free, with no account: the app draws each stroke, then you write it and it says which stroke went wrong.
