With a less is more philosophy these Chinese character flashcards help you learn the words of the first, second and third levels of the Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì (HSK), which can be translated as the Chinese Proficiency Test.

The HSK (in Chinese: 汉语水平考试) is a Chinese government-approved, standardised test of Mandarin Chinese for those who are learning to speak Chinese as a second language.

Future versions of this app will contain further levels of the HSK.
