How these lists are built
Each list starts from the official HSK 2.0 vocabulary for that level and is cross-checked so nothing is missing and nothing extra sneaks in. Every word gets a self-authored example sentence with its own translation, plus native audio for both the word and the example. The text on these pages is CC BY 4.0, free to reuse with attribution.
