What's on the worksheet

Each word appears in a 田字格 (tián zì gé) tracing grid with pinyin printed above it. The vocabulary comes from the HSK 3.0 lists and matches SayMei's course weeks. Six words you will trace on this page include:

  • 中国 (zhōng guó) — China
  • 中文 (zhōng wén) — Chinese language
  • 汉语 (hàn yǔ) — Chinese language
  • 说 (shuō) — to speak
  • 听 (tīng) — to listen
  • 名字 (míng zi) — name

The full set also includes 说话, 问, 知道, and 会. To explore more topics at this level, visit the HSK 1 lessons hub page, or try the printable "At the Office" worksheet (HSK 1) and the printable "Travel & Getting Around" worksheet (HSK 1).

How to practice

Start by tracing the guided strokes in each lightly printed character. Once you feel steady, move to the blank grids and write each character from memory. Saying words like 说 and 名字 aloud as you trace helps link sound, meaning, and stroke order together. If you need extra room for repetition, grab our blank printable 田字格 writing grid paper as a free companion tool.
