Updated versions of the free HSK 3.0 vocabulary decks: separate decks for HSK 1–6 and one combined HSK 7–9 deck.

The answer side of each card has:

• Tone-coloured hanzi and pinyin, and the English meaning
• Mandarin audio for the word and for its example sentence
• An example sentence with pinyin and an English translation
• An Example button that hides the sentence when you just want the word

This update corrects example sentences, pinyin, translations and audio across all levels (in HSK 1 alone, 235 of the 300 example sentences changed). Audio is included in the download, so reviews work offline. Each level has only the words new at that level.

Download on AnkiWeb:

HSK 1 · HSK 2 · HSK 3 · HSK 4 · HSK 5 · HSK 6 · HSK 7–9

I am a solo developer and a native Chinese speaker. I have built a Chinese grammar checker that uses AI models specifically designed for the Chinese language. It is already used by many Chinese users in their daily writing tasks.

I believe it would also be helpful for Chinese learners and for people conducting business in Chinese. Reducing typos and awkward phrasing can improve test scores as well as help build trust in business relationships.

hi everyone,
I have a 7-years son, he is learning English hard, for him English is not easy and he is so naughty, each time he learn to read English text, he just not into that.

I just guess, if any kids with the same age , can they be friends, my son can teach your kids Chinese, they can also share a lot interesting story.

If the kids have some basic of Chinese would be better, if not it is ok because our parents will always be nearby 😂

I’ve been thinking about why language learning apps suck. They require discipline, dedicated time, and honestly feel like a chore. But what if learning just… happened while you’re living your life?

Here’s the idea: Have your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, whatever) replace common English words with their Mandarin equivalents. Not randomly — consistently. Every single time.

Start with just 2-3 words swapped (like “shì” instead of “is”). Have a progression that automatically adds more words as you go — 4 words after a few weeks, then 6, then 10. But you control the pace. Too fast? Dial it back. Breeze through it? Speed up.

The genius part: it’s not a separate thing you do. It’s just how your AI talks to you. You’re asking questions, having conversations, working through ideas — and you’re absorbing Mandarin without trying.

It’s just a set of prompts. Anyone can do it with any language model. The infrastructure is trivial. But I think people could build way better implementations than this initial concept.

Thought I’d throw it out there.

Not sure if it’s an idea already, but it doesn’t seem to be so I thought I’d throw it out there. I think you guys can make it a lot better.

The people at language learning didn’t seem to want to let me post it on their thread so here I am. Go crazy.

Hi! I’m an international student in China looking to learn Chinese. In return, I can help you with English. My level is C1, and I scored 7.0 in IELTS.

Hey everyone!
I’m from the US 🇺🇸 and I’m looking to make some new friends in China! 🇨🇳
I’d also love to learn how to speak Mandarin Chinese. I’m a native English speaker, so I’d be more than happy to help you learn or improve your English in exchange for helping me with Mandarin.
I’m interested in making genuine friendships, learning about Chinese culture, and having regular conversations to practice our languages.
If you’re interested, feel free to comment or send me a message. Looking forward to making some new friends!

I have a service dog and I was hoping someone could tell me how to write “service dog, ignore me” for a vest. Thank you in advance 😁

I am a partner from China, and I want to learn English. I can also teach you Chinese, and we can learn from each other and share our daily lives together. I'm very happy to share my daily experiences.

I hope to find a partner who loves to learn～

Hey everyone!

I’m a native Chinese speaker with some experience teaching Mandarin to international students.

I’m currently working with a small team on a free Mandarin learning app, and we’re still in the early research stage.

Before we start building a bunch of features that nobody actually needs, I’d really like to hear from people who are learning Chinese.

What’s been the hardest or most frustrating part of your learning experience so far?

I’m especially curious about a few things:

• Have you ever felt lost about what to study next?
• Have you tried multiple apps but struggled to stick with any of them?
• Do you find video lessons helpful, or do you prefer more interactive exercises?
• Is there anything you wish your current learning app did differently?

We’re thinking about building structured HSK courses, short video lessons, practice exercises, and a way to track weekly learning progress. But these are just our initial ideas, and I’d rather hear what learners actually need.

No links or promotions. I’m genuinely here to learn from your experiences.

Even if you’ve stopped learning Mandarin, I’d love to know what made you quit.

Thanks! :)
