时间 shí jiān
“time” — stroke-order animation and a free printable 田字格 practice sheet below.
Stroke order: 时间
Each character loops its stroke order using the open-source hanzi-writer dataset. Watch a few loops, then trace it on paper — that's how handwriting sticks.

One click generates an A4 PDF with 时间 pre-filled: a light tracing row in tianzige grids, then blank guided boxes for repetition. Print it and practise with a pen.

Writing notes
时 pairs the sun radical 日 with 寸, the classic "small unit" component. 间 is a door (门) with a sun inside — your first true enclosure-with-interior practice.
Why a paper sheet instead of an app? HSK 2 exams test writing from memory, not tapping. Muscle memory for 时间 comes from tracing it in tianzige grids until the proportions land inside the cross guides every time — usually ten to twenty printed repetitions.
