Supplemental dictionary data

Lesson filters provide the Course study relations currently defined for this level. A Lesson relation is a study map, not a claim that every official word appears directly inside the Lesson's main text.

How to use this HSK 2 word list

Use the list for lookup and syllabus reference. Search a word when you need its Hanzi, pinyin, part of speech or study meaning, then move into HSK 2 Flashcards for active recall.

Use HSK 2 Characters when individual Hanzi need attention and HSK 2 Grammar when the problem is sentence structure rather than vocabulary.

Official fields vs supplemental English meanings

The official record supplies level membership, word, pinyin, syllabus position and part-of-speech data. English meanings come from supplemental CC-CEDICT enrichment for search and learning convenience; they are not described as official HSK translations.

See the HSK 3.0 source overview and editorial policy for the data boundary.
