建jiàn
to build, to erect. 8 strokes, radical 廴, first met in HSK 3.
What 建 is made of
廴 (yǐn, to walk) and 聿 (yù, writing brush).
廴 carries the meaning — action — and 聿 carries the sound.
How to write 建
Strokes 1–6 write 聿, then strokes 7–8 write 廴.
Free, with no account: the app draws each stroke, then you write it and it says which stroke went wrong.
