imron 5,243 Report post Posted December 6, 2019 Note, the levels for the vocab list (1-4) are different from the HSK levels (1-11). I can't remember the exact mapping but it's something like: Vocab 1 = HSK 1-3 (Basic) Vocab 2 = HSK 3-5 (Elementary) Vocab 3 = HSK 6-8 (Intermediate) Vocab 4 = HSK 9-11 (Advanced) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weyland 120 Report post Posted December 8, 2019 Can anyone recommend some more "interesting" encyclopedia entrees, word lists and other study resources? Or even anything on the web that can be consumed in a bite-sized manner, like educational videos/blogs/etc. of higher quality (what's the antonym of the buzfeed approach?) Updated the list with: - Added a Wikipedia/百科 article section - Also added 6 links - Added 国考 - Added Wordlist section - Link to pre-2010 HSK flashcards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As when I try to make an account it asks for a subscription fee, yet I seem to be able to listen to their latest podcast. Care to shine any light on their monetization model?

imron 5,243 Report post Posted December 9, 2019 There is premium content only available to subscribers. See the list at the top of the page under "最新會員限定文章". I haven't subscribed so I can't tell you if the subscribed material is worth it, but they release a free podcast every week or two, along with a couple of free articles, which is enough for me.

Weyland 120 Report post Posted December 13, 2019 Chinese Thesaurus? Are there any on the web that are somewhat functional? The most reliable one I've found is: Baidu 汉语, though it does a poor job at sorting the syn/antonyms by frequency. Man, I'd pay a good buck for a reliable (digital) Chinese thesaurus.

Weyland 120 Report post Posted December 19, 2019 普通话学习 has had a major update. Now regardless of your Chinese level you can use the app to practice your pronunciation. Also, would people be interested in Wikipedia articles like these; summation of the Administrative divisions within China, or would that stray to far from the language aspect?

Weyland 120 Report post Posted June 17, 2020 I wonder what will happen to lists like these once the new HSK is implemented. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
