Learn Chinese HSK1 Handwriting on Writey

If you’re thinking about learning Chinese, you’ve probably heard about the HSK tests. HSK stands for Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì. It’s the official Chinese proficiency test used by millions of learners worldwide. But if you’re just starting out, you’ll want to focus on HSK1, the entry-level test that’s perfect for beginners.

Now, learning Chinese isn’t just about memorizing words—it’s also about being able to write down those characters down. And let’s be honest, Chinese characters can be pretty hard!

HSK1 is the first level of the HSK test and is designed for people who are brand new to Chinese. Here’s what you need to know:

• Vocabulary: HSK1 covers just 150 words. These are super basic words like numbers, days of the week, simple greetings, and common phrases. Think of it as the essential toolkit for basic communication in Chinese.
• Test Format: The test has two parts—Listening and Reading. There are 20 questions in each section, and they’re all about understanding simple phrases and sentences. No writing or speaking is required at this level.

HSK1 covers 150 words and characters, which are considered essential for basic communication in Chinese. These characters are chosen for their frequency and usefulness in everyday conversations. Below, we’ll explore some of the key characters and words you’ll need to know.
