Why Ren is a common mistake
Because it looks simple, learners often skip rule checking and rely on intuition.
That makes left-falling before right-falling one of the most repeated beginner mistakes.
What to focus on
Focus on order first, then spacing and balance.
That is the easiest way to build a stable writing habit for simple forms like Ren.
Knowing is not enough
An article can confirm the rule, but stable handwriting comes from checking the animation and practising the character in the app.
