HSK 3.0 Level 1 vocabulary list.
Your first characters: greetings, numbers, time, family and daily basics. 506 words below, each with its pinyin and English meaning.
HSK 1 is the start of the elementary band. Its characters cover the building blocks of everyday Chinese: numbers and dates, people and family, common verbs like 是, 有, 去 and 吃, and the question words you need to ask simple questions. Many of them (人, 口, 大, 木) are also components that turn up inside harder characters later.
