HSK 2 vocabulary list

This page lists every word in the HSK 2 vocabulary — 150 entries, each with its simplified hanzi, pinyin and English meaning. HSK 2 is one of the six levels of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, China's standardised Chinese proficiency test. Reading a list is not the same as knowing it: the words that stick are the ones you are asked to recall just as you are about to forget them. LexiTrail drills this list with spaced repetition, free and without an account, so you can start on the words below straight away.
