How to study 錄 in context

  1. Say lù, then recall the core meaning: to copy, to record, to write down.
  2. Write all 16 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 錄 works in that context.

Definitions and traditional forms are compiled from Make Me a Hanzi, HSK curriculum data, and CC-CEDICT. Sourced example sentences link to Tatoeba; editorial examples are labeled separately. Review data sources and licenses.
