How to study 滑 in context

  1. Say huá, then recall the core meaning: to slip, to slide.
  2. Write all 12 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 滑冰 (huá bīng), meaning “to skate”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 滑 works in that context.
