Level 1 (HSK 1)

Level 1 is ideal for those who have zero experience in learning Chinese. This level is equivalent to the first-year of Chinese course in college (Chinese 101) or high school (Chinese 1). We will use HSK 1 Standard Course for this level. A digital copy of the textbook will be shared after your official enrollment.

Students are expected to complete this level in 10-12 months.

Level 2 (HSK 2)

Level 2 is ideal for those who have learned Chinese for at least 6-9 months and can successfully pass the HSK 2 test (with a 90+ score). Students should be able to recognize at least 300 Chinese characters.

Students are expected to complete this level in 12 months.

We will use HSK 2 Standard Course for this level. A digital copy of the textbook will be shared after your official enrollment.

Level 3 (HSK 3)

Best for students who have studied Chinese for at least 1.5 years or those who have scored 90 or higher on both the HSK1 and HSK2 tests. This level might be slightly easier for those who passed HSK3). Students need to be able to read at least 600 characters. Students need to know how to type in Chinese and read characters. Writing ability is not a requirement but strongly preferred.

Although this class is accessible for those who are conversationally fluent, it might be challenging for students who don’t read or write any Chinese characters. 

Students are expected to complete this level in 18-24 months.
