Hello Ana Maria, The same question came to my mind when I started learning hanzi, well you have to write the strokes starting as a rule from top to bottom ,left to right ,regardless from the character ,they all follow the same rule. If you notice an eight stroke character for example an 8 or 10 stroke character like jia1 家 ( home ,house) ,you will start by the top part going top left right , then the second underlying part will follow suit , from top stroke ,left strokes heading right.. I am not sure this explanation is clear so try this link : http://english.cri.cn/chinese2007/chinese/english/lesson04/1.html. By clicking the character jia1 it will draw automatically and you will see what i mean and try many other characters in the lessons on this page ,it will help you get hold of the concept ..good luck ;)

oh,thereis a very usful dictionary online,it can show you how to write the characters with flash. http://www.chinesehelper.cn/

hello, as you are rumania and rumania had good relations with china in older times, go to public libraries and look for dictionaies of that time. normally, all had some instructions about it. if not easy to find at first, look in the tables for searching characters by radicals, it will give you hints. cherry's answer is quite good.

Of course,there's some rules,like from top to bottom,left to right.Maybe,you can write the characer in a exercise-book which has squares inside.And you can do like this 丿 九 Just write the stroke in the squares.

But there are other benefits too. For instance, a little less easy to see but just as important is that it creates choices. Access to a large part of Chinese culture is blocked from the average non-Chinese because only the books and other cultural aspects of the Chinese cultural heritage that someone thought might make a profit is available through translated works. The parts that have been made available don't even represent a fraction of a percent of what is really there. The lion's share is on a bookshelf waiting to be discovered. They are like diamonds that have been mined, polished, cut and begging to be re-discovered by the rest of the world.
