HSK 1 - Anki deck

Files:

• 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:

Words that had their generated translation changed:

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

Words that weren’t translated:

在家	at home

Duplicated character

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.
