Chinese flashcards: all 300 HSK 1 words

The full HSK 1 list, set out like flashcards: the character, the pinyin, and the English.

300 words·

A Chinese flashcard shows one character. You try to remember the sound and the meaning, then you check. This page is that check for the whole HSK 1 list: 300 words, in syllabus order, each with pinyin and a short English meaning.

A few characters are marked for one meaning only. 会 is “can,” 和 is “and,” 看 is “to look; to watch,” and 喂 is “hello” on the phone.
