支流

zhīliú

tributary (river)

Watch it being written

Every character draws itself, stroke by stroke. Then grab the brush: trace it yourself and hear the word when you finish.

Build with these blocks

Chinese words snap together like bricks. Every word below shares a character with this one, so you are already halfway to knowing it.
