[2021 New HSK] Supplement Lesson 07: Characters And Vocabulary
In 2021, the new HSK added many vocabulary and other language skills that are not included in the old HSK.
ChineseFor.US has since added 10 new HSK supplement lessons to make sure that the 2021 new HSK 3 requirements are all covered.
In this lesson we'll use some common Chinese characters to make multiple useful Chinese words.
