许xǔ
to consent, to permit; to promise, to betroth. 6 strokes, radical 讠, first met in HSK 2.
What 许 is made of
讠 (yán, words) and 午 (wǔ, noon).
讠 carries the meaning — speech — and 午 carries the sound.
How to write 许
Strokes 1–2 write 讠, then strokes 3–6 write 午.
Free, with no account: the app draws each stroke, then you write it and it says which stroke went wrong.
