"Now, let's come to the word kangaroo. It is in Chinese, dai shu. Again, in this word, this shu is the same shu we have in su shoo and lao shu. Kangaroo doesn't look like rat and it doesn't look like girl, anyhow we have this character in this word. Dai in Chinese means bag. This is easy to understand. There's a big bag-like part in the body of the kangaroo where the babies can live there. Dai. The upper part is the pronunciation part of this character. It's pronunciation is exactly dai. The lower part is an independent character. You can see this character is pronounced as E which means cloths. We have pockets in our cloths, so that's why we have this word, we have this character. And, shu. So, you can see literally dai shu means a red-like animal with a bag on it's body. This is what we have, dai shu. Follow me to write dai shu again. Last, is the dot and then let's come to the lower part. This is a left falling, this is a vertical hook, very short left falling and long right falling stroke. Three separate strokes here and horizontal turning, short horizontal, long horizontal, vertical hook, a little bit slant, slanting hook, and this is more slanting. dai shu: kangaroo."
