The real intermediate leap — 300 new words, mastered

HSK 3 is where Mandarin gets real. You stop memorising isolated words and start reading full sentences without pinyin support. The jump from HSK 2 to HSK 3 requires 300 new words — but more importantly, it requires understanding how those words combine with key grammar patterns like 把, 被, 虽然…但是, and result complements. This pack handles all of it.

At 32 pages, it's our most detailed vocabulary pack — because HSK 3 demands more depth than levels 1 and 2.

Who this is for

Learners who have completed HSK 1 and 2 content (or equivalent) and are ready to push into intermediate Mandarin. Ideal as your main study resource for the HSK 3 exam, or as a structured vocabulary expansion if you're studying independently and want to reach B1-equivalent Mandarin.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include the HSK 1 and 2 words too?

No — it focuses on the 300 new words introduced at HSK 3. If you want HSK 1 and 2 vocabulary, those are covered in the separate HSK 1 and HSK 2 Vocabulary Mastery Packs.

What format is the pack?

A single 32-page PDF, optimised for screen reading and printing. Works completely offline once downloaded.

How hard is HSK 3?

HSK 3 is the B1 equivalent — genuine lower-intermediate. The main challenge is reading without pinyin and using grammar patterns like 把 and 被 naturally. This pack addresses both directly.
