Now write it yourself

Trace over the outline with your finger, a stylus or the mouse. Each stroke is checked as you draw it.

Remember it, don't just copy it

Ink a Day brings 一 back tomorrow to write from memory, then again just before you'd forget it. Five minutes a day.

一 is also used in Japanese, where it is read いち; stroke order can differ slightly between the two. See 一 in Japanese.
