How to study 肌 in context

  1. Say jī, then recall the core meaning: flesh, skin.
  2. Write all 6 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 肌肉 (jī ròu), meaning “muscle”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 肌 works in that context.
