演yǎn
to perform (on stage). 14 strokes, radical 氵, first met in HSK 3.
What 演 is made of
氵 (shuǐ, water) and 寅 (yín, to respect).
氵 carries the meaning — water — and 寅 carries the sound.
How to write 演
Strokes 1–3 write 氵, then strokes 4–14 write 寅.
Free, with no account: the app draws each stroke, then you write it and it says which stroke went wrong.
