Han Trainer HSK Edition
 

HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, 汉语水平考试) is an internationally acknowledged test which certifies the level of Chinese as a foreign language. The obtained "HSK level" has a particular significance in the academic sector (foreigners wishing to attend a Chinese university) as well as in job applications.

In other words : TOEFL for English, DELE for Spanish, HSK for Chinese.

This edition contains all words required for HSK levels 1-4 (i.e. levels A1, A2, B1 and B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language Learning and Teaching (CEF)).

Products of the Han Trainer HSK line are ideally suited if you are preparing for an HSK exam and support the new, revised HSK structure .
Taking that HSK-Examen makes sense for everyone who is aiming at a professional or academic carreer in China or who wants to have his level of Chinese certified by an internationally acknowledged certificate.

**For technical reasons, the (printed) Han Trainer Flashcards only contain the 600 words of HSK levels 1,2 and 3; all other products contain all 1200 word of HSK levels 1,2,3 and 4.

Questions and answers regarding the HSK Edition:

Question: "Are the words grouped by HSK level?"

Answer:
Yes, the words are grouped by HSK level (1-4).

 

Question: "Are there any plans to create thw words for HSK 5 and 6?"

Answer:
HSK Levels 5 and 6 (C1 und C2 according to CEFR) won't be available in the near future. Since every word is "hand made" and endowed with individual learning aids, pronunciation (in the vocabulary trainer Han Trainer Pro, see www.hantrainerpro.com), translations etc, the amount of time for creating a word can easily amount to 1 hour. HSK Levels 5 and 6 contain over 3800 additional words, many of which have not yet been created.

However, it is our long-term goal to create these words as well. They would be sold as a different package though (e.g. "HSK Advanced Edition").
