笔画, 笔顺 and why print does not look like what comes out of the pen. This page lists 107 words from Chinese Trainer's inventory, with hanzi, pinyin and English, in the HSK 1–3 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.
