Words Spanish or English push you toward the wrong character. This page lists 46 words from Chinese Trainer's inventory, with hanzi, pinyin and English, in the HSK 2–5 band. It is not a scan of an official paper; the same rows feed SRS in the app. Start with HSK 1–2 rows when the topic includes them, and add the rest once you can say three sentences out loud.
