How to study these words
The whole list is a ready-made set in the app: open the library, press the HSK library button and pick the levels you need. Then flip the cards, test yourself, trace the strokes and let the schedule bring each word back right before you forget it.
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.
