序xù
order, sequence, series; preface. 7 strokes, radical 广, first met in HSK 4.
What 序 is made of
广 (guǎng, broad) and 予 (yǔ, to give).
广 carries the meaning — wide — and 予 carries the sound.
How to write 序
Strokes 1–3 write 广, then strokes 4–7 write 予.
Free, with no account: the app draws each stroke, then you write it and it says which stroke went wrong.
