Click Here to See Your Overall Character & Word Learning Progress

Congratulations!

You've now covered all characters and words In the HSK's 1-3.

What's Next?

If you are interested in taking the HSK 3, we'd recommend taking the time to go over all Vocab Unlocked flashcards and Vocab Boost lessons. However, the HSK 3 is a non-essential test. The truth is that an HSK 3 pass isn't nearly as impressive on your resumé compared with the HSK's 6-9. Therefore, our recommendation would be to focus on learning more characters. 

You've now seen enough comprehensible sentences that your sense of grammar is solid. As a result, the more important goal becomes knowing enough characters to read any Chinese content and understand over 99% of the characters. After you know 3000+ characters, you'll need to do a lot of reading, but you'll very rarely run across a text that has too many characters you don't know. 

Head over to the Upper-Intermediate course and get started!

Now the real work begins for me. I have been focusing on characters, now it's time to look for interesting content to consume so that I can learn the words. I am wondering whether to keep going forward with the next course and keep learning more characters, or stop here and try and really learn what I've accumulated so far. I know a lot of characters at this point but certainly not many of the compound words that go with them.

I'll be curious to see how this approach works for you. It means that a lot of the "top-down words" won't be characters you don't know (with rare exceptions). Keep us posted!

I certainly will do :-) even though I feel i haven't taken a lot of the words in, it's still amazing that i can actually figure out a lot of the sentences i'm reading, so something must be working! I also realised that if i'm not interested in a subject, i cannot retain any information from it, so any words relating to finance, government etc just completely go over my head no matter what language. I'm going to look through the words and see which ones are relevant to me, and find some games and books about things i'm interested in. just working through the habit building bootcamp at the moment to help get into a routine, and then hopefully I'll be back on track.

Hey guys! I finished your course recently, thank you so so much for putting it all together!! At around level 48, I stopped learning words through the course and just learned the characters. Using your method I have also learned some more characters than are on the intermediate course while I wait for the advanced course. I know around 2000 characters now and can pick up any fiction book and recognize almost all of the characters (is this reality?! XD)! I use LingQ which you guys recommended it and it really helps with quickly looking up words and saving them for later reviews in Anki. I don't know most of the words but am slowly learning them and they seem to stick better due to reading them in context (another of your useful tips). This is only the beginning of the journey but as Aristotle, and my wise father :P, like to say, "the beginning is more than half of the whole". Just wanted to thank you guys again for making all of this possible! You are making many people's dreams come true and for anyone looking ahead know that with consistency and enjoyment to guide you you can do it as well.
Thanks again!!!
