Today we're pleased to bring you the sixth lesson in our ongoing series on how to write Chinese characters. And you may be surprised to learn we're almost done covering the rules. We're already taught you the most important guidelines for getting your stroke order correct. What remains is relatively minor points, like remembering to draw final dots in the upper right-hand corner last.

If you're totally new to Chinese and enter panic mode whenever someone hands you a pen, relax and start from our first lesson. Otherwise, click through to our Writing Pad and just practice writing the characters we've selected for you. We think you'll have mastered this rule in a few minutes. And if you're not a premium subscriber but still want to practice your writing skills, head over to our public Writing Pad, which will serve up these characters and many more in rotation until you can write them in your sleep.
