How to study 赞 in context

  1. Say zàn, then recall the core meaning: to help, to support.
  2. Write all 16 strokes while keeping the top-bottom balanced.
  3. Use it in 称赞 (chēng zàn), meaning “to praise”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 赞 works in that context.
