I know this is very hard because I've done the similar things about porcelain painting. You are doing awesome! I really enjoyed watching your video.

Thanks so much for your support, Yumi! I hope I get good at it as you are in porcelain. BTW, do you pronounce the letter Z like z or ts in Japanese?

The stroke order is hard to follow. It feels like there's a lot of rules, but if you follow them, the characters flow more easily and will look more natural and balanced. I will never forget the order for 女. My teacher said "women are ninjas, so they are くノ一 (kunoichi)"

Now I'll never forget it, thanks to your story. Thanks so much, Amie!
In Japanese, the pronunciation of the letter "Z" depends on the word and the phonetic context. It is generally pronounced as "z" (like in "zebra") but sometimes can sound closer to "dz" (a combination of "d" and "z").
For example:
ざ (za), ず (zu), ぜ (ze), ぞ (zo )pronounced like "za," "zu," "ze," and "zo" in English.
じ (ji) and ぢ (ji)often pronounced as "ji" (like "gee" in "geese") but can sometimes sound like "dzi" (similar to "j" in "jeep").
The letter "Z" is not pronounced as "ts" (like in "tsunami"). However, some people may mishear the "dz" sound as "ts" in fast speech.
