Founder of Chinese Trainer. These lists come from the app's HSK inventory (hanzi, pinyin, band), not from an official exam PDF.
Written-style Chinese and formal register. This page lists 38 words from Chinese Trainer's inventory, with hanzi, pinyin and English, in the HSK 4–6 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.
