好像 is pronounced hǎoxiàng and means “Parecerse a; parecer”. HSK 4 places it in the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, the standardised measure of Chinese proficiency. There is a real difference between having seen 好像 and being able to use it, and cramming a list flatters the first while doing little for the second.
