House, routine, clothing, sports and hobbies.

13 subtopics · ~880 words

Home is where HSK 2 becomes real: 起床, 洗澡, 衣服, 房间. This category groups housing, daily routine, clothes and hobbies so you can narrate a day without a translator. It is not street-survival lexicon; it is what you use with flatmates and on WeChat at night. Start with routine and the flat if you live in China; leave hobbies until you can say when you leave the house. Rows carry an HSK band; add them to Chinese Trainer SRS in tens, not sixties.
