Lesson 6 - "Sky", "Eight" and "Wood" (down stroke to the right)

As mentioned in the previous post, the down strokes to the left and the right co-exist almost every time.

The down stroke to the right is called "Na" in Mandarin.  To execute it, it will be very different by using a pen or a Chinese brush.

Since we are focus on writing Chinese by using a pen or a pencil, it will be the same as the stroke to the left. (Please refer to this post here)

In the attached exercise, I want to bring your attention to the word "Eight".  Look at it very carefully.....does it look very similar to the word "People" that you learned last time?  But....there is a difference.

The word "People" does not have a gap between the strokes like the word "Eight".
