Purlingual

Purlingual helps you study for the new HSK, the Chinese proficiency exam, which moved to HSK 3.0 in 2026.

Ask Claude which HSK 3.0 level a word is, and it can tell you the level, pinyin and meaning, and whether the word was its own entry on the old HSK 2.0 lists. Look up a word in Chinese, in pinyin with or without tone marks, or by its English meaning.

Browse the official HSK 3.0 word lists for levels 1–6 and 7–9, 50 words at a time. You can filter to the words that weren't separate entries on the HSK 2.0 lists, or to words containing a character.

See how the new written exam works at each level from 1 to 6: its sections and parts, how many questions each part has, what you do in it, and the timing, from the official sample paper published in December 2025.

List the official grammar points for each level, with a short English description of each.

Practise exam-style questions with answer keys: reading practice at every level from 1 to 6, and the missing-character writing part at levels 2 and 3. Claude can quiz you one question at a time.

Word lists and grammar come from the 2025 HSK syllabus published by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation (CTI). Some HSK 7–9 meanings are shortened from CC-CEDICT (CC BY-SA 4.0). Practice questions are written by Purlingual in the new exam's format; they aren't official exam questions.
