Why start now
The new HSK 3.0 exam is scheduled from 13 December 2026. The deck has 600 cards (2 per word). At Anki's default of 20 new cards a day you will have seen every card in 30 days, so starting by 13 November leaves time before 13 December.
Start here
- Unzip the download first. On a computer, double-click the zip. On a phone, open the zip in your Files app and extract it.
- Computer (Windows, Mac, Linux): install Anki, which is free (apps.ankiweb.net). Open the file HSK1-2025-tieng-viet.apkg, or in Anki choose File > Import and pick the .apkg. The deck appears with 300 notes.
- Android: install AnkiDroid, which is free, from Google Play. Tap the .apkg file in your Files app, or in AnkiDroid choose Import and pick the .apkg.
- iPhone or iPad: AnkiMobile is a paid app from the Anki team (799,000 VND on the Vietnam App Store and US$24.99 on the US App Store when checked on 12 November 2026). In the Files app, open the .apkg file and choose AnkiMobile.
- Paper: open HSK1-2025-tieng-viet-bang-tu.pdf (the word list) first. Before printing the cut-out cards, print one test sheet.
- README.txt in the download explains every file in Vietnamese.
Change how many words you learn a day
Open the deck's options (the gear next to the deck on a computer, or Deck options on a phone) and change "New cards/day" under Daily Limits.
- 20 new cards a day = 10 words a day, all 300 words in 30 days (Anki default).
- 30 new cards a day = 15 words a day, all 300 words in 20 days.
What is inside
- Anki deck (.apkg): 300 notes, 600 cards. Each word has a Reading card (Chinese to meaning) and a Recall card (meaning to Chinese). New cards come in 14 topics.
- Printable word list: A4 PDF, 23 pages.
- Cut-out flashcards: A4 PDF, 12 cards per sheet, 25 sheets (50 pages) for double-sided printing.
- CSV file (300 rows, 12 columns) for Excel or another flashcard app.
- A 2021 to 2025 change table. The 2021 standard (GF0025-2021) lists 500 Level 1 entries; a few have two written forms (such as 爸爸 and 爸), so the table has 506 rows, one per form. 263 rows are still Level 1, 243 rows moved to a higher level or are no longer separate entries, and 37 words are new to Level 1 in 2025.
Every word shows simplified and traditional characters, tone-marked pinyin from the syllabus, the Hán Việt reading, part of speech, the Vietnamese meaning, a topic, and one example sentence that uses only Level 1 words, with pinyin and a Vietnamese translation.
Checked
A checking script is included (checks/verify.py, Python 3.11 or newer, works offline, writes no files). It runs 14 checks, including:
- all 300 words, their characters and pinyin match the 2025 syllabus list
- every pinyin syllable is a real Mandarin syllable, one per character, with the tone mark on the right vowel
- one Hán Việt reading per character, matched against an open Hán Việt reading list (6 characters use another common reading, listed in the script)
- every example sentence contains the word being learned and uses only Level 1 words
- the Anki deck has exactly 300 notes and 600 cards, and every card matches the CSV
- both PDFs embed their fonts, so they print the same on any computer
Good to know
- Level 1 only. No audio and no stroke order.
- The Vietnamese meanings and example sentences are Nam Trung Studio's own content, not copied from a dictionary. They have not yet been reviewed by a Chinese teacher, and the script checks structure and word lists, not translation quality. If you spot a mistake, email [email protected] and the fix will be added to the download for free.
- Two Recall cards show the same front: 来 (lái) and 到 (dào) both read "đến, tới · động từ". Both answers are right for that meaning; 来 is "come (towards the speaker)" and 到 is "arrive (reach a place)". The next update will make the two fronts different.
- In two example sentences the plural ending is written apart ("Tóngxué men", "Háizi men"); standard pinyin joins it (tóngxuémen, háizimen).
- The deck was imported and tested with Anki on a computer. It has not yet been opened on a real Android phone or iPhone.
- The cut-out cards were checked as page images; they have not been test-printed yet, so print one sheet first.
- A multi-level edition is in preparation; there is no release date yet.
- Questions or corrections: [email protected] (Nam Trung Studio).
