The 90-degree horizontal-vertical character stroke

Youtube premiere on Tuesday, the 11th of Nov. at 00.00 am This video is the 6th episode in the series dedicated to the 笔画, the Chinese characters stroke, or as I call it, the Chinese alphabet. Today we focus on the 横折, the horizontal-vertical combo. We look at three usage examples: the character 囗,己 and 田. We try to understand the difference between the characters 己 and 已, and the characters 囗 and 口。 The difference between these last two characters becomes clear when we combine them into a new character, the character 回. In this video I demonstrate how to write the three characters by hand.
