Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor. Here’s how HSK lessons are organised, what’s inside one, and what’s free.
Lessons are arranged by HSK level, from HSK 1 for complete beginners up to HSK 7 to 9.
Each level’s card shows how many lessons it holds, and the words and grammar you’ll know by the end of it.
A lesson takes one topic from first hearing to using it, in ten sections, listed in the contents bar.
It opens with a podcast: a conversation that talks you through the lesson’s words and grammar.
On a free account, every lesson’s podcast is open, and so is the first lesson of each level, in full. Pro opens the rest.
Scroll through a reading section and it’s ticked off up here; the others are ticked when you do them.
The last sections are for doing: exercises, then a Mastery Mission that asks you to use what you’ve learned.
That’s an HSK lesson: ten sections, each ticked off as you go. Start with your first one.
