HSK Level 1 & 2 Test

Are you considering learning Mandarin Chinese? Whether you’re planning a trip to China, interested in the culture, or aiming to boost your career prospects, mastering the basics of Chinese can be incredibly beneficial. The HSK Level 1 & 2 test is an excellent starting point for beginners. In this blog post, we’ll explore the significance of the HSK Level 1 & 2 test, its components, and valuable tips for excelling in these entry-level language assessments.

What is HSK? The HSK is a standardized test that evaluates the Chinese language proficiency of non-native speakers. Developed by the Hanban (Confucius Institute Headquarters), the test is widely recognized worldwide and serves as a benchmark for language learners. The HSK is divided into six levels, with Level 1 and Level 2 being the beginner stages.

HSK Level 1 The HSK Level 1 test targets learners who have mastered the most fundamental elements of the Chinese language. It assesses their ability to comprehend and use simple phrases and expressions in everyday situations. At this HSK Level 1, learners are expected to grasp about 150 commonly used words.

HSK Level 2 The HSK Level 2 test is the next step for learners who wish to expand their Chinese language skills. This HSK Level 2 evaluates learners’ capacity to communicate in uncomplicated, routine tasks requiring a basic and direct exchange of information. It covers an extended vocabulary of approximately 300 words.

Components of HSK Level 1 & 2 Test Listening Comprehension: The listening section evaluates your ability to understand and respond to basic spoken Chinese. You will listen to simple conversations and answer questions based on the information provided.

Reading Comprehension: In this section, you will read short texts and answer questions related to the content. The texts are designed to assess your understanding of basic vocabulary and sentence structures.

Writing (HSK Level 2 Only): Level 2 includes a writing component where you will be required to write simple sentences or short passages. This assesses your ability to express ideas in written form.

Tips for Acing HSK Level 1 & 2 Master Basic Vocabulary: Focus on learning and memorizing the vocabulary specific to each level. Flashcards and spaced repetition techniques can be helpful in retaining new words.

Practice Listening Regularly: Immerse yourself in Chinese audio materials like podcasts, videos, and language learning apps. Regular listening practice will improve your understanding of spoken Chinese.

Read Simple Texts: Read beginner-level Chinese texts to familiarize yourself with sentence structures and common phrases. Step by step challenge yourself with more complex materials as you progress.

Engage in Conversations: Practice speaking with native speakers or language partners. Engaging in conversations will boost your confidence and help you apply what you’ve learned in real-life scenarios.

Mock Tests: Take mock HSK Level 1 & 2 tests to simulate the actual exam experience. Mock tests will highlight areas that require improvement and boost your test-taking confidence.

Conclusion Embarking on your journey to learn Mandarin Chinese through the HSK Level 1 & 2 test is an exciting and rewarding endeavor. These entry-level tests provide a solid foundation for your language learning journey, allowing you to communicate effectively in basic everyday situations. Remember to stay consistent in your practice and be patient with yourself as you progress.

With dedication and determination, you will soon find yourself confidently navigating the Chinese language. Best of luck on your HSK Level 1 & 2 test, and may your language-learning adventure be both enjoyable and successful!

can I know what app you use to learn languages

of course! i actually use a number of apps across different languages, but at the moment i am mainly studying korean and keeping up with my chinese reading and writing skills, so i’ll talk about those first, and then the other apps i use for other languages at the end. (under the cut for length!)

for korean, i mainly use lingory. it’s a free app with ads (though you can get around them if you have a vpn), with each lesson being a “day”, comprised of a vocab lesson, one or two grammar lessons, and a test. every three to five “days” or so there’s a unit test which goes over everything you’ve learnt. it doesn’t explicitly include grammar in the lessons, but if you tap on parts of the example sentences, it’ll show you grammar points. it mainly focuses on reading and listening skills, though there are some writing exercises. it currently goes from A1/TOPIK 1 through B1/TOPIK 3, with a B2/TOPIK 4 course in the works.

for chinese, i keep up with reading for pleasure on various webnovel apps, but for focused practice in writing and vocab acquisition, i use dot languages and TOFU learn. dot languages is a graded reader with a free option, and TOFU is a flashcard app originally meant for chinese. dot languages includes reading, listening, and writing exercises after you finish reading an article or dialogue, and has “paths” (collections of articles suited to a given HSK level) up to HSK7-9; TOFU has decks for each of the HSK levels through HSK7-9, and mainly focuses on reading (recognition decks) and writing (writing decks). i’m not sure whether it’s currently available on the app store, but it does have a desktop site as well.

for other apps i use: busuu (german), language transfer (german, arabic), read thai (thai), and mango (everything i study plus whatever else i dabble in).

busuu has a similar setup to lingory, but has more languages; it also explicitly includes grammar explanations in lessons. i think the free version lets you go up to B1, and the paid version lets you go up to B2?

language transfer focuses on gaining an understanding of the way a language works, and is 100% audio-based, made up of recordings of lessons between the creator and a student—you won’t learn reading or writing skills through it, but it’ll give you a very strong conversational foundation. it doesn’t have a ton of languages, but the creator is working to add more over time, and it’s entirely free.

read thai is an app i picked up to learn the thai alphabet—i was more or less able to sound out written thai after a couple hours using it (though not the tones—that would probably take a lot more studying). it’s very useful for its specific purpose, and also fairly simplistic. it’s entirely free.

mango is what i use for basically anything i don’t have other resources for, or as a supplement to my other resources. it’s free if your library has a membership, with something like 70+ languages (and multiple dialects of larger ones—they separate castilian and latin american spanish, and have three arabic dialects plus MSA); it focuses on conversational competency, mainly through reading, listening, and speaking exercises. it does include occasional grammar explanations, but you’re usually expected to pick it up on your own, so for that reason in my experience it’s best for languages that are similar to the ones you already speak (qazaq for me), or analytic languages (ones without conjugation or declension, like thai).

i hope this answer helps you some, anon!

Hi, I found out about your account and I want to learn chinese... Do you know where to start? It feels so difficult. 🥲🥲🥲

*TL;DR: I'm starting by getting familiar with the sounds to be able to speak the sooner I can, I'm also doing writing to remember chinese characters better by gaining muscle memory. I recommend you to invest on a textbook (especially HSK 1), and if you want to expand your vocabulary look up a list of the most used chinese words to start learning some everyday from there.

Hi, I've just started so take my advice with a pinch of salt, but I'm focusing a lot on speaking at the time.

I'm trying to get the most familiar I can with the way natives sound so pronunciation doesn't become a major challenge later on and so I can actually understand the vocabulary I know in conversation (For example, if I were tone deaf and just dragged learning tones I'd have a hard time differenciating between ''mǎi'' (buy) and ''mài'' (sell))

Talking is the most efficient way to get better at a language since it's a way bigger challenge than just hearing, so I want to be able to speak the sooner I can, even if it's going to start off being super basic. I'll do it on my own rather than by talking with a language exchange partner because it gets really awkward when your level is really low and it also gets old really fast because the most the other person can do is correct you on what you already know.

Some people say if you want to get better fast you should just ignore the writing system completely until you reach a certain level so it doesn't drag your process, but I hope to be able to communicate by text so I'm learning characters by repetition.

Here's a good video on how to memorize characters in an easier way: Chinese Hack - How to learn Chinese Characters | Free resource. It's really short, just 7~ minutes!

I'm also learning how to write the characters by hand and even though some teachers say you can just ignore calligraphy for a while or entirely because you can always write via text and you probably won't really need to know how to write the characters well, I think it actually reinforces the learning for me since it builds muscle memory.

Also, I'd totally recommend you to invest in a text book. I've done french basically with just YouTube videos but chinese is more challenging than that so having a guide to get better definitely helps, because you might even find yourself procrastinating by watching videos on things you already know and not making any real progress.

The HSK 1 book is the go-to chinese text book because it's a series of guidelines to pass the HSK 1 proficiency level test, which is the equivalent of an A1 test in a romance language.

Also, another tip if you want to expand your vocabulary fast is to look for a chart of the most used words in your target language and learning some (people usually recommend 10 but you can take it easy) each day. There's actually a copy of a book called 2000 Most Common Chinese Words in Context on Internet Archive you can use!

I'm a week late lol but I have updates!!

- Started taking HSKK (Chinese Speaking Proficiency Test) advanced prep class :D We're all advanced learners in here with HSK 5/6 levels so the teacher is speaking in Chinese the whole time and I'm so happy that I can understand 99% of what she's saying but also I found out my Chinese speaking has really diminished 😭 Thank god I was able to introduce myself and answer her questions in Chinese but the mock tests are kicking my ass no doubt.

- J.Test (Japanese language exam) released the correct answers and I got enough marks to pass JLPT N3 level!! I'm still waiting for formal result announcements but I'm pretty sure I got it!! :D

- Started teaching a new basic Chinese class so now I have to teach 4 days per week. It's a bit tough but I think I'm making it work?

- the level 1 Chinese class I'm teaching is going to end in February so I'm gonna have to prep for the level 2 class and THEN prep and record my basic Korean classes. I'll tell y'all how it goes

- I have 100% grade but still missing classes for Pali Diploma and will have to make up a lot in the future. Thank god they don't grade attendances 😭

- I have a slight fever right now so I'm chugging Lipovitan-D to keep me going. I have a tarot session booked this afternon and a chinese class to teach so can't really rest Unfortunately :/ but Dimension 20 FHJY is helping me with my mood.

Anyways that's all! happy studying, y'all

[brehaaorgana]

I have more Chinese recommendations and was meaning to make a similar post! Duo kinda always sucked for Mandarin:

(Note that HSK is the official Chinese language proficiency exam, and levels in the HSK 3.0 go from 1 (newbie) to HSK9 (not officially out yet):

SuperChinese - I prefer this over HelloChinese, as it has more free content AND it goes for a much higher level. I actually liked it so much I bought a year long subscription which has a lot of great content. (I also tested out of HC's free materials right away so I was stuck between having to pay or redoing stuff I already knew in HSK1). HelloChinese only goes to HSK3, and their stories are only really accessible on their premium plus subscription (which imo would be the selling point for HC over SC). SuperChinese has content through HSK 5, and is still adding more at higher levels (HSK will extend to 9 on the coming years). They have regular subscription sales if you decide to go past the free stuff. their AI is solely aimed at answering questions and is a premium plus feature. OH HEY WOW NEWLY ADDED LIFETIME PURCHASE OPTION!!!! also feel free to use my invite code: 339911. also they have an HSK specific study app too.

PLECO!!!!!! PLECO PLECO PLECO. If you download any free dictionary app, use Pleco. There are free expansion dictionaries you can add easily and it's a great app. But if you are going to spend any money, spend it on the one time purchase of Pleco's Basics Bundle. (US $29.99) – "includes all of our most popular features – full-screen handwriting, OCR, flashcards, stroke order diagrams, document reader, Mandarin Audio, and Kai font add-ons – plus the Oxford Chinese Dictionary." You will NOT regret this. It does flashcards in Chinese (similar to anki but streamlined to Chinese specifically) with SRS, it has stroke order animations, AND the OCR/document readers are amazing. You can put any pdf in the document reader and start reading with the Chinese pop up dictionary. They have bundles of some of the best graded readers out there, and its super easy to add flashcards directly from the text. You can use the reader over websites for a popup dictionary. In android you can overlay Pleco over literally any app or screen for translation. You can sync all your purchases to as many of your devices as you have. It's just very very very good and it's a one time purchase.

DuChinese - another freemium option, but most of the stories have a first chapter preview, and they have lots of free reading pieces as well. their biggest sale is usually black friday, but they do have sales for the sub, and now have a lifetime option. they have flashcards, translations if you get stuck, can highlight HSK content, everything has audio, it's all written by people, and

Little Fox Chinese - entirely free animated stories aimed at children learning chinese, but it has flashcards, audio, quizzes, and lots of good vocabulary! (youtube channel here)

If you don't want to pay another on-going subscription for Skritter's writing practice, may I recommend ChineseGuru instead? which has more material in their "Free" flashcards? And ALSO in addition to subscription options, they have a lifetime purchase option for everything and all future content updates? Xamisoft also has other apps: Sinograms (dictionary), CantoneseGuru, JapaneseGuru, and Kanji/Kana. They are also currently 95% done with development for the launch of VietnameseGuru, 10% into KoreanGuru, and 50% done with Euskara (Basque).

The Heavenly Path website is basically aimed at people who want to get to reading native webnovels in Chinese. But they have a lot of guides to resources, apps, and a discord which is awesome and very friendly/helpful for everything! also check their resources list. additionally they rank native content like books/shows by difficulty level, and tag whether or not it's free.

The discord associated with The Heavenly Path there's a resources channel which is great too.

Ninchanese is freemium, mostly flashcards oriented, available as both an app and desktop website. But there's a cute little story you're playing through, if you like "Gamey" learning. Additionally they have an excellent free grammar reference app called Chinese Grammar, with content through HSK 5 material.

The entire Chinese Grammar Wiki is free online.

Immersive Chinese is chinese sentences/words in audio flashcards, good for practicing speaking by mimicking/repetition. I think the first two lessons are free, and then you can choose between a lifetime sub of $14.99 or a subscription.

Hanbook is a freemium slightly cramped app for me with some confusing layout, but there's a few fun flashcard decks and free things in there so I check it every so often.

all languages:

Lingotrack is like, brand brand new, no joke I think I must be one of the first 40-50 users, because the creator posted it to the discord server and then we all started joining. anyways it's not a learning site, but a platform for keeping track of your studying/language learning and it's pretty awesome. I fell off updating in late december so I have to go back in and make some updates tonight, but folks can add me @des there.

加油！

In light of Duolingo laying off its translators, here are my favourite language apps (primarily for Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and te reo Māori).

Multiple Language

Anki is a flashcard programme and app that's not exclusively for languages. While making your own decks is ideal, you can also download shared decks for most languages.

If you're learning Japanese, specifically, Seth Clydesdale has websites for practicing alongside Genki's 2nd or 3rd editions, and he also provides his own shared Anki decks for Genki.

And if you're learning te reo Māori, specifically, here's a guide on how to make your own deck.

TOFU Learn is an app for learning vocabulary that's very similar to Anki. However, it has particularly excellent shared decks for East Asian languages. I've used it extensively for practicing 汉字. Additionally, if you're learning te reo Māori, there's a shared deck of vocabulary from Māori Made Easy!

Mandarin Chinese

Hello Chinese is a fantastic app for people at the HSK 1-4 levels. While there's a paid version, the only thing paying unlocks is access to podcast lessons, which imo are not really necessary. Without paying you still have access to all the gamified lessons which are laid out much like Duolingo's lessons. However, unlike Duolingo, Hello Chinese actually teaches grammar directly, properly teaches 汉字, and includes native audio practice.

Japanese

Renshuu is a website and app for learning and practicing Japanese. The vast majority of its content is available for free. There's also a Discord community where you can practice alongside others.

Kanji Dojo is a free and open source for learning and practicing the stroke order of kanji. You can learn progressively by JLPT level or by Japanese grades. There's also the option to learn and practice kana stroke order as well.

A Complete Guide to the New HSK 3.0 Levels

If you’re learning Chinese, chances are you’ve heard about the changes to the official proficiency test — the HSK (Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì). As of 2021, the HSK has entered a new era with the introduction of HSK 3.0, a major reform that brings deeper, broader, and more realistic expectations for language learners.

So, what exactly are the new HSK 3.0 levels, and how do they differ from the old ones? In this complete guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know about the new structure, the goals of each level, and how to prepare for them effectively.

From 6 Levels to 9: Why the Change?

Before 2021, the HSK had only 6 levels, with Level 6 being the highest. However, many advanced learners found that even after passing HSK 6, they still struggled in real-life conversations, professional settings, or academic environments in China.

The developers of HSK realized this gap and redesigned the test structure to better align with actual language abilities. With từ vựng HSK 3.0, the test now includes 9 levels, allowing a more gradual and accurate assessment of learners' progress from beginner to near-native fluency.

Understanding the Three Major Stages

Although there are 9 levels in HSK 3.0, they are grouped into three stages:

Beginner Stage: Levels 1 to 3

Intermediate Stage: Levels 4 to 6

Advanced Stage: Levels 7 to 9

Each stage comes with a more detailed vocabulary list, increased grammar complexity, and higher demands in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Beginner Stage: HSK Levels 1 to 3

These levels are designed for learners who are just starting to study Chinese. The focus is on basic daily communication, including self-introductions, numbers, simple questions, and basic sentence patterns.

At this stage, learners are expected to:

Understand and use everyday expressions

Recognize and write basic Chinese characters

Handle short conversations in familiar situations

Use Chinese in daily tasks like shopping, telling time, and describing weather

The vocabulary expands from around 500 words in Level 1 to more than 1,200 words by Level 3. You will also be introduced to essential sentence structures, tones, and basic grammar rules. Character writing becomes an important part of learning from the very beginning.

Intermediate Stage: HSK Levels 4 to 6

This stage is where learners transition from basic survival Chinese to more fluent and spontaneous communication. It’s ideal for students preparing to study or work in China.

At the intermediate levels, you’ll be expected to:

Discuss familiar topics with some depth, such as hobbies, travel, or school

Write structured paragraphs and simple essays

Read short articles and news stories

Listen to longer conversations or lectures

Use compound sentence patterns and more complex grammar

The vocabulary grows significantly at this stage, from around 2,500 words at Level 4 to over 3,200 words at Level 6. Learners will also dive deeper into Chinese culture and social norms, as these are often reflected in test dialogues and reading materials.

Advanced Stage: HSK Levels 7 to 9

The highest levels of HSK 3.0 are intended for advanced learners who can function in academic and professional Chinese environments. These levels are also aligned with international language standards like CEFR C1 to C2.

Key expectations at this stage include:

Reading complex texts, research articles, and literary works

Writing reports, reviews, and formal essays

Participating in academic discussions and debates

Translating between Chinese and your native language

Mastering advanced idioms, fixed expressions, and formal registers

Interestingly, HSK 3.0 uses a single test for Levels 7, 8, and 9. Your score will determine which level you pass. This format allows for more flexibility while still maintaining a high standard.

At the top level, you’re expected to know over 11,000 words and more than 3,000 characters. These levels represent near-native fluency and require long-term, immersive study.

How the Levels Build on Each Other

Each level in HSK 3.0 is designed to build logically on the one before. Instead of jumping from “basic” to “advanced” too quickly (as was sometimes the case in the old version), the new levels allow for steady, manageable progress.

For example:

A learner at Level 2 will feel confident using simple sentences about food, directions, or time.

At Level 4, they’ll be able to talk about feelings, explain choices, or compare experiences.

By Level 7, they’ll be expected to discuss abstract ideas, analyze arguments, or interpret subtle language use.

This gradual progression also encourages learners to use the language, not just memorize it. Speaking, writing, and real-life interaction become central to moving up each level.

What Skills Are Tested at Each Level?

HSK 3.0 is much more comprehensive than its predecessor. Every level now assesses:

Listening: Can you understand everyday speech, announcements, and media?

Reading: Can you follow instructions, read narratives, or interpret factual content?

Writing: Can you express ideas in writing, from notes to essays?

Speaking: Can you hold conversations, ask questions, and present opinions?

Translation (at higher levels): Can you accurately transfer meaning across languages?

In addition, each level integrates grammar, vocabulary, and pragmatic knowledge — your ability to use language appropriately in real-life scenarios.

How to Choose the Right HSK Level to Aim For

If you’re just starting out, begin with Level 1 or 2. Even if you have prior exposure to Chinese, the new structure and vocabulary depth of HSK 3.0 make it worth revisiting lower levels.

If your goal is to work or study in China, Levels 4 to 6 are ideal. They provide a solid foundation for university entrance or workplace communication.

If you're pursuing a career that requires advanced Chinese — such as research, translation, or diplomacy — then Levels 7 to 9 should be your long-term goal.

Final Thoughts

The introduction of HSK 3.0 has made the path to Chinese fluency clearer, more structured, and more practical. With nine levels instead of six, learners now have better milestones to aim for — and more support in developing real-world communication skills.

Whether you're learning Chinese for personal interest, professional growth, or academic goals, understanding the new HSK 3.0 levels can help you plan your journey wisely.

Start small. Build consistently. And remember: every level mastered is one step closer to true fluency.

H/L Shooting the Moon by Accident

November 23 is when I’ll be taking the HSK2 exam. I’m 95% sure I’ll pass it. Quote from a quick google search: “The Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) is an official examination designed to assess the Chinese language proficiency of non-native Chinese speakers from beginners (level 1) to advanced (level 6). It is an internationally recognised standard in assessing your Chinese language level and the results can be used to demonstrate Chinese ability to an employer and to apply for Confucius Institute Scholarships (CIS). It is also accepted by universities in China as a proof of Chinese proficiency. The HSK tests include writing, listening and reading skills.” This is the story of how and why I started learning Chinese. The how is fairly simple; Duolingo and other apps are very good at gamifying language practice, and providing extrinsic motivation. Additionally, at least at the lower levels, gaining a working knowledge of a language is something you can absolutely do with Duolingo (and Drops, and Babbel, and Rosetta Stone, and Skritter, and SuperTest, and Memrise….I’ve tried a LOT of language learning apps, is my point). And! These apps being on my phone mean I can practice everyday, at any moment. Consistency is a low-grade superpower, after all, and once something is a habit it can be easier to continue than to stop. I AM surprised at how effective these apps are, and I wish there were other apps that worked at the same level for me (well, SoloLearn single handedly taught me Python programming, but after that I plateaued). Now for the story: this is all the fault of Michele Fabris. Fabris is a member of Mensa I met at some Mensa events. He had worked in China, and claimed that any Mensa member would be able to learn Chinese (at elementary levels) easily.1 I want to say I took the bait, but that would imply a bait or a challenge was issued. Instead…it was simply something cool to do which can turn useful at odd times. And turn useful it does! It was a good basis to learn Japanese for my honeymoon, and now I can use it as an icebreaker when talking with my Chinese colleague. So…the moral is to just try out things. Especially if other people would be impressed by them. Subscribe now 1 Sadly, with Covid he completely lost his brain and became an antivaxxer. Which shows IQ isn’t proof against that kind of thing. It’s something I’m slightly bitter about. via https://ift.tt/kBnXQFM

Whether you're a student aiming for academic success, a professional preparing for cross-border work, or simply someone drawn to Chinese culture, online Mandarin courses provide structured, flexible, and immersive training.

Why Learn Mandarin Chinese?

Mandarin is the official language of China and Taiwan, and one of the four official languages of Singapore. It’s also one of the six official languages of the United Nations. As China remains a leader in global economics, manufacturing, science, and diplomacy, Mandarin proficiency is highly valued across industries.

Learning Mandarin gives you:

Access to China’s vast market and culture

An edge in global business, especially in tech, finance, and logistics

Chinese listening experiment 336 hours

1. HP5 has so much fucking filler. This book could be sooooo much shorter. I don't know if I can really make myself listen to HP6 and 7 after this. Im so sick of these audiobooks.... (but they are very easy for practicing listening, perfect level for my listening ability, and they take the guess work out of picking what to listen to next to improve for the next 30-60 hours). HP5 has been "they ate meal, they went to class, they prepped for test, professor said X, they had a quttich match" over and over for 20 hours... I'm waiting for the ending I remember, the ministry of magic scenes, still havent happened... this novel drags on forever...

2. Dashu Mandarin podcast is still too hard. I've been watching Richard Chinese's youtube, and a ton of his videos are perfect level for me. Especially the HSK 3-4 story lessons he does. But Dashu Mandarin is still too hard ono

3. I think I officially can handle Lazy Chinese channel's Upper Intermediate videos! They're a touch harder than Xiaogua's channel. I can handle any Intermediate or Upper Intermediate video on Lazy Chinese ot Xiaogua right now. So I hope that means I've made some progress. Lazy Chinese Upper Intermediate videos used to be too hard to listen to without watching, around hour 200.

4. It's so odd and interesting to me that the Rollercoaster of improvement continues nonstop. I feel I understand so much MORE than prior for about 5 hours (probably because it's become easier to quickly understand things I understand), then feel I understand so much LESS than prior for about 5 hours (probably because I notice all that I still can't understand), and on it goes. Even when I'm listening to stuff I understand all of the main idea of (like HP5 audiobook). Its interesting to me just how much the "feel you understand a lot/feel you understand little" happens over and over during the intermediate level.

5. I think my Chinese Listening Experiment indirectly confirms that the Listening Reading Method would indeed work for learning a language (to the degree it claims it would). Listening Reading Method involves picking a novel for adults (a reading level you wish to understand in reading and listening with MANY unique words), reading it in a language you understand while listening to the target language audio (MAKING every single thing you hear Comprehensible), reading it in the target language while listening to the target language (matching sound to target language writing system). Then listening to the target language audio on its ow. Those steps can be in any order. Then repeat the steps as needed or desired, in any order, or just repeating the audion doing that over and over for 100-200 hours. Along with some other optional activities (like transcribing what you hear, translating what you hear, or translating the translation text copy you have back into the original, shadowing the audio).

I can say from my chinese listening experiment, listening to a novel I understand the main idea of, and re-listening once or twice, improves my listening comprehension of all of the words in the novel AND any easier reading material. Listening Reading Method is much more intensive, and much more comprehensible than just the main idea (since you look up a translation for any word you dont know as you read-listen), and says that when you're done then easier reading material than the novel you Listening Reading Method worked with, will be something you can understand when reading or listening. So after HP5 for example, you'd understand Alice in Wonderland audiobook or book - which I can confirm. I understand Alice in Wonderland audiobook now, and have since listening through HP3. Alice in Wonderland is a lower reading level than HP3. So I am sure an intensive Listening Reading Method, focusing on 1 audiobook/book for adults with a high unique word count, would have similarly good results to what I've been doing. That said, what I'm doing is easier for me... I've tried Listening Reading Method and its incredibly intensive, requires a LOT of focus for hours straight, and requires me to not get lost while listening. (I do love the LR Method though, I think its a neat idea). Versus just extensive listening, which requires no reading and is very forgiving if I get lost for a while - I can either wait until I recognize a scene again, or replay the audio.

6. I watched ep 1 of The Prisoner of Beauty yesterday with just chinese subs. I followed the main plot which I will consider a win. However, historical etc type shows for adults are some of the hardest to watch and i need to be less ambitious lol. So many details I only understood vaguely or missed, because cdramas like this one throw a lot of family names and political situation background in the opening episode.

How to Build a Daily Chinese Practice Routine?

Establishing a consistent daily Chinese practice routine is crucial for long-term language mastery, especially for students navigating secondary school standards. Beyond classroom learning, daily exposure to the language reinforces memory, improves fluency, and boosts confidence. For students already enrolled in the best Chinese tuition for secondary, a structured home routine can amplify what they learn in class.

1. Set Clear Language Goals

Start by defining what you want to achieve in your daily practice. Goals can range from vocabulary improvement to mastering oral communication.

Learn 5 new Chinese words daily

Write a short paragraph each night

Watch a Chinese video and summarise it in your own words

Practice one oral topic per day

Setting achievable goals helps maintain motivation and track progress effectively.

2. Create a Fixed Time Slot

Consistency is key. Allocate a specific time every day for Chinese practice, such as:

30 minutes after school

20 minutes before bedtime

During morning revision time on weekends

A fixed schedule creates a habit, turning practice into a natural part of the day.

3. Use Multiple Learning Methods

To stay engaged, rotate between different learning activities. You can include:

Reading Chinese storybooks or news articles

Listening to Chinese podcasts or songs

Writing diary entries or composition snippets

Speaking aloud using oral exam topics or flashcards

Diversifying methods keeps the brain actively engaged and enhances all four language skills.

4. Leverage Technology

There are many apps and websites that complement tuition lessons. Students enrolled in the best Chinese tuition for secondary can benefit from digital tools that:

Reinforce classroom vocabulary

Offer voice recognition for pronunciation practice

Provide games to test comprehension and grammar

Include HSK or MOE-standard practice questions

Tools like Duolingo, Pleco, or Skritter can be great companions in your daily routine.

5. Keep a Vocabulary Journal

Create a vocabulary book or digital document to jot down new words daily. Each entry should include:

The word in Chinese characters

Pinyin and meaning in English

A sample sentence

Review your journal weekly to reinforce memory and check for word retention.

6. Practice Speaking with Family or Friends

Don’t underestimate the power of casual conversation. Speaking Chinese daily, even if just a little, boosts fluency and confidence.

Talk about your day in Mandarin

Watch a Chinese drama together and discuss it

Role-play PSLE or O-Level oral questions

If no one at home speaks Chinese, consider online conversation partners or study groups.

7. Connect with Tuition Content

Students learning from the best Chinese tuition for secondary should align home practice with what’s taught in class. This strengthens understanding and ensures continuity.

Review notes or homework from tuition

Revisit challenging areas with extra practice

Use your tutor’s feedback to set improvement goals for the week

Coordinating practice with tuition creates a powerful learning synergy.

8. Stay Inspired with Real-World Exposure

Make Chinese a part of everyday life. Watch Chinese TV shows, follow Chinese influencers, or play games in Mandarin. Try:

Reading Chinese subtitles while watching shows

Listening to Chinese songs and translating lyrics

Reading labels, menus, or signs in Mandarin when out and about

Real-life exposure builds practical language instincts beyond textbooks.

9. Reflect and Adjust Weekly

Every week, reflect on what worked and what didn’t. Ask yourself:

Did I meet my weekly goals?

Which areas need more focus?

Am I enjoying the learning process?

Adjust the routine based on personal pace and interest to avoid burnout.

Conclusion

Building a daily Chinese practice routine takes intention, structure, and creativity. When paired with lessons from the best Chinese tuition for secondary, a strong daily plan helps reinforce learning and fosters long-term fluency. Start small, stay consistent, and stay curious—because with daily effort, mastering Chinese becomes not only possible but enjoyable.

Study HSK Daily with Flashcards – The Most Effective Way to Learn and Remember

Learning Chinese isn’t just about memorizing characters — it’s about understanding, remembering, and using them confidently in real life. Whether you're aiming for HSK 1 or HSK 6, one tool stands out as a daily companion that actually works: flashcards.

In this article, we’ll explore how using flashcards every day can help you master HSK vocabulary faster, remember longer, and feel more confident — all in just 10–15 minutes a day.

🎯 Why Flashcards Work for Every HSK Level

No matter your current level — beginner or advanced — flashcards are effective because they follow three powerful learning principles:

1. Active Recall

When you look at a word like “天气” and try to remember what it means (weather), you activate a deeper level of memory. This is called active recall — a brain-friendly way to strengthen connections.

2. Spaced Repetition (SRS)

Flashcard apps like Anki and Pleco use smart algorithms to repeat words just before you're about to forget them. This technique helps you retain vocabulary longer and spend less time relearning.

3. Microlearning

Instead of studying 3 hours in one day and quitting the next, flashcards encourage short, consistent sessions. Even 10 minutes a day adds up to major results over time.

📚 What Should an HSK Flashcard Include?

To get the most out of your flashcards, each card should contain:

Chinese word or phrase (Hanzi): e.g., 学习

Pinyin: xuéxí

Meaning: to study / to learn

Audio (if available): helps with listening + pronunciation

Example sentence (optional): 我喜欢学习中文。

For higher HSK levels (HSK 4, 5, 6), adding collocations, grammar notes, and usage tips will make your cards even more useful.

📆 How to Build a Daily HSK Flashcard Habit

Here’s a simple routine you can start today — and stick with for months:

✅ Morning (5–10 minutes)

Review yesterday’s cards

Speak the words aloud

Type or handwrite the words for better memory

✅ Afternoon (5 minutes)

Add 5–10 new words (from an HSK list, textbook, or real-life use)

Listen to the pronunciation

Practice creating your own sentences

✅ Evening (5–10 minutes)

Test yourself: Can you recall the meanings and say the words?

Review only the cards you got wrong

👉 Total time per day: 15–25 minutes. Simple, realistic, and sustainable.

📈 What Happens When You Stick with Flashcards Daily?

After 1 week:

You’ll know ~50 new words and review 50 old ones

You’ll feel more confident recognizing characters in context

After 1 month:

You’ll reach 200–300+ words

You’ll start noticing improvements in reading, listening, and even speaking

After 3 months:

1,000+ vocabulary words can be part of your long-term memory

You’ll be more than ready for your next HSK exam

Flashcards don’t feel magical at first. But daily use creates steady growth, and that’s the real power.

💡 Tips to Learn Smarter (Not Harder)

🗣️ Speak while you study: Saying words out loud reinforces pronunciation and memory

✍️ Write characters occasionally: Especially useful for beginners and HSK 3+

🎨 Color-code tones or categories: Helps visual learners retain better

⏱️ Stick to a routine: Same time every day = stronger habits

🎯 Set micro-goals: “10 new cards today” feels achievable, and you’ll stay motivated

🧭 Final Thoughts: Tiny Cards, Big Impact

Flashcards might seem simple, but when used correctly — daily and consistently — they become one of the most effective tools for HSK learners.

You don’t need to memorize everything at once. You just need to show up every day, open your deck, and ask:

“What will I learn today?”

That one question — and a few từ vựng HSK flashcards — could be the start of your next level in Chinese.
