How to use it

  1. Read each word's pinyin and meaning, and say it once out loud.
  2. Trace the grey guides: they fade box by box, so each copy asks a little more of you.
  3. Write the word on your own in the empty boxes, then scan the page's QR code to practice its strokes online.

Common questions

Is the HSK 4 workbook free to download?

Yes. Every volume is a free PDF in A4 or US Letter, with no account or email needed. The page picks the paper used in your country and one tap switches it. Each printed page also has a QR code that opens online practice for the words on that page.

What is in the HSK 4 writing workbook?

Every HSK 1–4 word on the new HSK 3.0 (2025) list: 2,000 words that use 1,096 different characters, on 2 printable PDF volumes of up to 1,000 words each. Each word gets tone-marked pinyin, an English meaning and 田字格 (tián zì gé) boxes whose guides fade from tracing to writing on your own.

Is this the official HSK Standard Course workbook?

No. It is SayMei's own handwriting workbook, built from the official 2025 HSK word list for HSK 1–4. It has no textbook lessons, audio or reading exercises; every page is writing practice for the words themselves, so it works alongside whichever HSK course or textbook you use.

Can I print copies for my class?

Yes. Print as many copies as you like — it's free. Print whole volumes or just the pages your class needs; for an answer key or a dictation page, type the words into the worksheet generator and add them in More options.

Does the workbook show stroke order?

No. To keep 2,000 words compact, the workbook leaves out stroke diagrams. Practice these characters online to watch, trace and recall each one's strokes, or type up to 20 words into the worksheet generator with Stroke order set to Guide.

Can I print a smaller set of HSK 4 words?

Yes. The Library has ready-made HSK 4 packs of about ten words each, grouped by topic, or you can type up to 20 of your own words into the worksheet generator. A short set you can finish in one sitting is easier to review than a whole volume.
