How to study for HSK (any level)
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 21. 08. 2024
- Hope some of these methods work for you when studying for ANY HSK level.
Right now is the perfect time to start studying. Please share your tips in the comments!
Also the reason why I focus so much on vocabulary is because one of my personal goals is to really improve that in general - not just to pass the test! I want to be able to improve that a lot so I'm putting a lot of effort into it.
What kind of videos would you like to see from me? I'm running low on ideas lol

Learning a new language can be hard. The reason why I make these videos about culture and traveling is because I believe it not only keeps me motivated, but maybe it can motivate others too! I feel so curious about other places in the world and it's so exciting to constantly learn new things; if you are here watching this video, you must be similar and I'm glad we ran into each other! Let's fill this space with support of diverse knowledge and curiosity.
How are you guys all doing?! I hope this video was in some way helpful or entertaining! Let us know your ways of studying below!! :D
this was the first study guildline video that ive watched til the end without skipping.
That means a lot! Glad it was captivating hahah
Whoa! 50 pages of vocab! Your cue cards are so well organised. Colour coordinating is a great idea. I'm still not going to learn Chinese though! Haha. I just know enough to order food - that is my main concern. Beijing is a pretty easy city to navigate without knowing Chinese.
You make such a good point!! But honestly food is the main thing đ hahahah
I liked your colour code for tones tip... great idea, thank you :).
Hi Jen! I've started learning Chinese about 6 months ago. I just want to say that I loved your tips and I'll definitely take them. I hope my Chinese would be as good as yours someday đ
Edit: Could you make a video about what kind of Chinese music or artists you recommend? Because I mostly learn language thru songs.
Yes!!! I can make one talking about some of my favorite musicians đâ€ïž thank you for this idea!! And I'm so happy my videos have been useful, keep going, you can do it!!! đ
as a Chinese. I wouldn't recommend Chinese music for you to learning Chinese because the word and lyric of Chinese songs are not useful compare with daily communication. maybe make you confuse in sometime.
@@summerstan4422 oh really? đź
Not even as a complement, even reading the lyrics?
Btw, I appreciate your concern đ
@@majucato1126 most music was full with written language or some old language word ïŒit was hard to beginneră
Start learning from a good app. Enhance your vocabulary. Chinese 90s songs are more helpful. Tune your ears to the language. I am doing thisđ
I tried the card thingie, IS REALLY HELPFUL. Amazing! but can you please make a video on studying for HSK 1. like teaching it?
Hi! I just discovered your channel and it's super helpful đđ» I'm starting HSK4, we got thiiis đȘđ»â„ïž
äžè”·ć æČč!
Me too. đđđ but i only focus to memorise the pinyin and meaning, not the character since i only need to be able to understand chinese drama đđđ
â@@asdfghjklqwerty9955 wow I also started learning Chinese for Chinese dramas .But now I like learning this !!
Hey đ I'm strating now HSK 4 , any advice ?đ
I heard that this year HSK is going to be reformed. It will have 9 levels with 11000 words in the last level
It is not official yet.
wow thats awesone and challenging
@@lewessays it's already confirmed
I wouldnât be too worried about it. I plan to use the old materials until I get through the old HSK 6 and then study for the new one.
In the end, the test is only practical for qualifying your fluency. The truth is that your connections with Chinese speakers are far more important. Language is about people. Language is not the code of a test.
March 2022, I believe, is the last of the 1-6 test
Yay, I've just started HSK 5! And o m g. You also have Ryan stationery... I found my soul-sister in here, haha! đ„ș ć æČčć æČč!
hahahaha i love that!! äžè”·ć æČčïŒïŒ
I am studying for the HSK level 3 and I love using flash cards. But I do this using Anki, its an online flash card tool for desktop and you can download pre made HSK decks for it to study. Its really helpful I think.
That's a great tip!
I'm a Paraguayan girl who moved to Italy a few months ago, and I have been studying Chinese and French in the Lyceum I'm going to. This was so helpful actually, tysm!!!
Yay!! Iâm so happy it was helpful! Good luck in your studying!
i just discovered your channel and im already addicted to your videos keep going i also watch your videos in bilibili even i cant understand all im trying my best
I'm here but now HSK changed their tests now HSK 9 will be the highest :'(
Lol. Hsk 5 is already hard enough. and who will want to get hsk 9 since it's not too much useful if you only need to communicate in daily life or watch chinese drama. đ
What.........hsk 9.đ„đ„đ„
OMG for real?! Do you get some sort of high base salary if you pass HSK6+? WHY ADD ANOTHER 3 LEVELS?
woah hold on, where'd u see that?
What?!
Wow, somehow I find your tips really helpful! Thanks!
u r sooooo positive ! thank you for YOUR energy a lot^^
These are such awesome strategies Jen keep it up love your videos stay safe.
Thank you for always watching â€ïžđ stay safe!!
the colour for each tone is so helpful!
thank you for this video, it was my first time watching you and I loved this video.!!!
Thank u so much!!! đ„°
I love your posts, keep it up!!!!
Made my day!
I've downloaded that list before and printed it and most of the definitions are inaccurate, so this is not a good method at all. I am trying to do a similar technique myself but I have to admit that there is no easy way to score the effectiveness of this method vs another.
This points out a fairly common problem on youtube, people will come up with a new technique and immediately tell people how great it is even though they just started that technique and have been doing it for less than a week, once again I've done that myself because I was excited however what's actually going on does not correlate to what's being said.
Always pleasure to watch your video
đâ€ïž
Anki flashcard is the best
Hey... ! How r u doing?
I know this lockdown is driving people crazy.. ! But... a crucial necessity. Stay safe.. !!
By the way, I studied Mandarin by watching CCTV4 on CZcams and repeat after whatever they say.. !!! This is hard, but effective!!!
Oh! Repeating what others say is such a good idea to practice speaking!
Hello,
My video request is, maybe seeing you cook some Chinese food? That would be fun.
Love that!! I have one coming up that's ... kinda similar to that đ I'll try cooking something soon, thank you!! đ
@@ThatsReallyJen get in!
That's a great idea Kelvin. I've made fried tomato and egg before. It is so delicious. Sadly I don't have gas in my new apartment in Beijing though. So I can't cook anything right now. Jen - what Chinese dishes can you cook?
@@LetticeTravels hahah the only thing I have actually tried to make and done it successfully is dumplings! I'm not the best cook in general đ if you have any recommendations of what to make then please throw them my way!
@@ThatsReallyJen Dumplings are good! A friend showed me how to make those too. I'd make them more often but they are very time consuming.

Thanks, Jen, very helpful. I like the color coding for the characters. Do you have a link for those HSK vocab sheets?
ææŻæ„ćŠè±èŻćŹćçđ
You use Pleco right? They have a flash card add-on that incoporates everything you've mentioned.
Thank you for the content

I am currently studying for hsk 1 but It's all over the place and I am kinda confused bc isk who to sign up where to give exams... I mean obv, i'd want to give online test but idk where to apply for the course. And also when to apply for it
It healpful to me.thanks a lot
me coming in to comment a year late LMAO anyway i really love this !!! i never know HOW to study for anything so this really helps me
I'm struggling to find the motivation to learn Chinese with the HSK 1 Book, do you have any tips to staying motivated? :)
I mostly keep myself motivated by listening to chinese songs and watching chinese shows! It makes me want to be a part of the culture so much more so I will try to learn quickly :)
@@ThatsReallyJen Thank you! Do you have any Chinese artists and shows that you recommend?
Lol. this is the same with me. When i watch cdrama, then i will stay motivated to learn. But if the cdrama has ended, then i will be lost motivated. Then stay motivated again if i find another interesting cdrama
The HSK 1 book sucks! I hope you replaced it. I really liked Peiking Universityâs HSK course and Iâm in the process of completing the HSK 4 course as taught by Professor Chen Li and Professor Lu Yun.
Day 2.... I am heređ
Hi thanks for your videos, is use them for learning chinese. What textbooks do you use in class?
Hello thank you for the tips, where did you find the words ?
thank you, for this useful tips đđđ
Have you tried using flashcard apps like Quizlet? I recommend it!
This is really good!! I like physically writing them but I do agree apps are so good for on the go studying!!
Jen Tomski you can use the digital flashcards as a writing prompt as well. Meaning to ensure you know how to write the character. But there is something to be said for the physical process of creating your own cards.
hello, when did you start to learn chinese ?
can someone help me with where will i get the entire hsk exam syllabus?
Where did you get the vocabulary list? What website? I've curious because I'm trying to find vocabulary lists/books for the test requirements, but I can't find any "official" ones. How do you study vocabulary?
I just googled the vocab list for hsk 5 and downloaded one randomly! I just have been working on memorizing these and working the words into my daily life so I remember them
@@ThatsReallyJen Thank you! I'm going to do that!
Hello, firstly thanks for video its amazing but i have some questions. I wonder if you took the exam online or face to face? Secondly, how do you set the duration of the paragraph section, I never catch up. Thank you so much.
Very helpful. Thanks
Uhmm hello!! I'm learning Chinese too. Can I ask where can I find those copy of hsk vocabularies?
Hey thanks for your video and best tips;)) ,i have a question, how can i get the word for level 3 of hsk course?could you please introduce any pages or sites if you know?

Where'd you get the printed vocabs?

It's really nice . But how u frame a sentences . Any tips for character learning
Reading through my the vocabulary is 3/10 for me
Iâm on HSK 2 and Iâm 9 years of age.
I just need to pass Gr.4
@1122 Well I mean not really I don't really like studying but I mean I have to

Yo guys, i want to ask, should i finish all the hsk textbook lesson first then do the workbook, or after finishing textbook lesson 1 then directly studying lesson 1 workbook
Jen can u really post the links which you referred and how you improved your Chinese
And please suggest some tv shows and chinese songs đ
I actually have a video for both songs I recommend and tv shows đ
Hi, good video, i donot think HSK6 is the most difficult one, HSK9 is now the most difficult :( !!!!!
Hey Jen!

Hey i wanna do HSK 4 do u think i need to study HSK123 first or i just jump inti HSK 4? Thank youâš
