About HSK 2

HSK 2 adds 200 words to the 300 of HSK 1. They cover directions, transport, shopping, weather, health and simple feelings, plus the grammar words that link ideas, such as 因为, 所以 and 虽然.

The syllabus lists 过 and 花 twice, once for each main use. This page shows each of them once with both meanings, so the table has 198 rows.

Some HSK 1 characters return here in new words or new uses: 点 as in ordering food, and the particles 得 and 地.
