About this list

These 1091 words are the ones that first appear at HSK 5 in our readings. Each row plays audio on 🔊, expands to show a real sentence from one of the texts, and saves to your wordbook on ☆.

Words are listed alphabetically by pinyin. A word is filed at the level of the first reading it appears in, so a word you meet in an HSK 5 text but which also occurs later stays here rather than being repeated.

How to use it: don't study this list top to bottom. Read the HSK 5 readings first, then come here to review the words you tripped over.
