Classes, exams, books and academic life. This page lists 110 words from Chinese Trainer's inventory, with hanzi, pinyin and English, in the HSK 1–4 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.
