How to study 际 in context

  1. Say jì, then recall the core meaning: border, boundary, juncture.
  2. Write all 7 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 国际 (guó jì), meaning “international”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 际 works in that context.
