How to study 训 in context

  1. Say xùn, then recall the core meaning: to teach, to instruct.
  2. Write all 5 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 培训 (péi xùn), meaning “to cultivate”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 训 works in that context.
