- wordlist.txt is from https://github.com/elkmovie/hsk30;
- hsk1-csv-generator.py creates a .csv file with four fields: a word written in simplified Chinese characters, its corresponding pinyin, meaning and audio.
- hsk1.csv was generated using the ‘hsk1-csv-generator.py’, and modified manually. The following changes were made:
| Word | Generated translation | Fixed translation |
| 车 | war chariot (archaic), rook (in Chinese chess), rook (in chess) | car |
| 那 | (archaic) many, beautiful, how, old variant of 挪[nuo2] | that |
| 女 | archaic variant of 汝[ru3] | female |
| 年 | grain, harvest (old), variant of 年[nian2] | year |
| Word | Translation |
| 车上 | in the car |
| 看到 | to see |
| 请坐 | please, sit down |
| 在家 | at home |
| 真的 | really |
| Word | Meaning | Was |
| 有一些 | some | 有 |
In HSK 1, there are three characters that are the same, but can have different meaning and pronunciation. Because of that, I renamed the audios in the csv file to ‘地1.mp3’ and ‘地2.mp3’, for instance. To distinguish the characters, the character’s tone or part of the speech was indicated.
| Character | Pinyin 1 | Meaning 1 | Pinyin 2 | Meaning 2 |
| 地 | de | makes the preceding word an adverb | dì | earth, ground, floor |
| 干 | gān | to concern | gàn | do |
| 还 | hái | still, yet | huán | to return |
Some audio files were downloaded from both Forvo and Wiktionary.
