How to study these words

The whole list is a ready-made deck in the app — the button at the top of the page opens it. You can try the cards right away, no sign-up needed: flip them, test yourself, trace the strokes. An account keeps the deck and your progress, and the schedule brings each word back right before you forget it. All levels are in the HSK flashcard library.

Character colour shows the tone: first red, second green, third blue, fourth purple, neutral grey. The reading is then remembered together with the character instead of separately.

Heads-up: the app interface is currently in Russian. The words, readings and meanings on this page are in English.
