How to study 街 in context

  1. Say jiē, then recall the core meaning: street, road, thoroughfare.
  2. Write all 12 strokes while keeping the left-middle-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 街道 (jiē dào), meaning “street”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 街 works in that context.
