About Chinese HSK2
HSK 2 builds on HSK 1 with another 150 vocabulary words and slightly more complex grammar — enough to handle shopping, ordering in restaurants, asking for directions, and discussing daily routines. HSK 2 is the practical elementary tier: by the end you can get by in most everyday situations in a Mandarin-speaking environment.
How to learn Chinese HSK2
HSK 2 takes about 4-6 weeks on top of HSK 1. Continue reviewing the HSK 1 deck (your recall should be automatic) and add 30-50 new HSK 2 words per week. Start reading simple Chinese texts (children's books, menus, short news articles) and listening to slow Mandarin podcasts. By the end of HSK 2 you should be able to hold a basic conversation in Mandarin on familiar topics.
