Memory tip
Break 実 down and you get 宀 (roof) — a roof stretched over the whole house. Picture a shelf under a roof loaded with real fruit and full crates, not just promised, put 実 inside it, and let that scene stand for "reality" — reality / fruit. The odder the picture, the better it sticks.

Stroke count: 8

Writing Tips
- Follow the order strictly: top-to-bottom and left-to-right. Correct order makes the shape balanced and natural.
- Keep each stroke in one smooth motion — don't lift the pen in the middle of a stroke.
- Close enclosing strokes cleanly so the character does not look open or broken.
- Common mistake: drawing strokes bottom-to-top or right-to-left. Even if the result looks similar, the wrong order shows in handwriting and makes it harder to read.
