How to study 度 in context

  1. Say dù / duó, then recall the core meaning: degree, system.
  2. Write all 9 strokes while keeping the upper-left enclosure balanced.
  3. Use it in 度假 (dù jià), meaning “to go on holidays”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 度 works in that context.
