Initials, finals, first to fourth tone, neutral tone and why 买 and 卖 are not the same mistake. This page lists 24 words from Chinese Trainer's inventory, with hanzi, pinyin and English, in the HSK 1–2 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.
