FAQ
What happens when I open a word?
Multi-character words open a word page with meaning, audio, examples, and character links. A one-character entry opens the character record.
How is this different from the HSK course?
The vocabulary table is a reference. The HSK course turns selected words into guided study units with writing, comparison, and recall.
