HSK 2 word list
The 200 words HSK 2 adds on top of HSK 1, bringing the running total to 500.
This is the smallest step in the entire syllabus, and the only level that asks for fewer new words than the level before it. That is not an oversight. HSK 2 is where the grammar carries the weight: the vocabulary pauses so the sentence patterns can catch up, and every level after this one climbs steeply.
All 200 are here with pinyin, tone colours, an English meaning, an example sentence and audio. If HSK 1 felt like a wall of new words, this list is the one that should feel manageable.
