Organization and consistency
Learning a new language takes a lot of effort and dedication. But with the right tools, you can improve faster.
Cheat sheets enable you to track your progress and feel a sense of accomplishment.
They are also useful to quickly recall the things you already know.
Mandarin can appear a little intimidating – and the cheat sheets are made with that in mind. The vocabulary and characters lists are well organized, and when everything you need to know is laid out on a few pieces of paper, it seems easily managable.
Characters Cheat Sheets
Characters cheat sheets contain all the characters for a given HSK level. Every page consist of 100 characters and their pinyin and translation.
Every character contains all the pronunciations it attains in the entire HSK opus. The translations are short and concise.
Vocabulary Cheat Sheets
Vocabulary cheat sheets consist of all the words for a given HSK level, and everything is organized on (mostly) two pages.
The words are sorted by their tones, which makes memorization process a lot easier. This is especially useful for beginners who often disregard learning tones.
