## What is HSK Note?

A word you recognize today should still be there on exam day. HSK Note helps you build Chinese vocabulary through short quizzes, clear examples and review that fits your pace.

START WHERE YOU ARE
Choose your study goal, Chinese experience and HSK level. Try the optional vocabulary level check, set a target exam date and begin with a short lesson. Choose the HSK 2.0 or HSK 3.0 vocabulary track that matches your preparation.

SEE IT, HEAR IT, USE IT
Learn words with Chinese characters, tone-marked pinyin, meanings and example sentences. Listen to words and examples, adjust playback speed, and tap linked words in examples to explore their meaning. Selected words include illustrations to help you remember them.

PRACTICE, THEN COME BACK STRONGER
Answer vocabulary and sentence quizzes. Words you miss return for more practice. Browse your word collection, save bookmarks and follow your study streak and accuracy with Premium statistics.

YOUR LANGUAGE, YOUR PACE
Use the app in English, Korean, Japanese or Vietnamese. Choose your theme and text size, and turn on optional study reminders. Learning text and progress are stored on your device. Audio and images need internet access for the first download; cached media can be used offline while it remains on the device.

TRY BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
