How to study 复 in context

  1. Say fù, then recall the core meaning: again, repeatedly.
  2. Write all 9 strokes while keeping the top-middle-bottom balanced.
  3. Use it in 复习 (fù xí), meaning “to review”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 复 works in that context.
