This pack covers the words you use on the phone and with the people you call. You reach for your 手机 (shǒujī, mobile phone), make a call with 打电话 (dǎ diànhuà, make a phone call), and answer with 喂 (wèi, hello). Then you talk about 朋友 (péngyou, friend), 男朋友 (nán péngyou, boyfriend) and 女朋友 (nǚ péngyou, girlfriend). Each word has pinyin above it and 田字格 (tián zì gé) tracing grids for stroke practice. Print the pages or save them as a PDF. Tip: the next time your phone rings, answer in your head in Chinese before you answer out loud.

Frequently asked questions
Is this worksheet free to download as a PDF?
Yes. The Phones, Calls & Friends worksheet is free to print or save as a PDF, with no account or email needed. Press Print / Download PDF: on a computer the PDF opens ready to print or save, and on a phone it goes to your share sheet. A4 or US Letter follows your country.
What level is this worksheet?
HSK 1. Its 11 words come from the official HSK 1 vocabulary list, grouped as week 3 of SayMei's HSK 1 course. Each word prints with tone-marked pinyin and an English meaning, so you can check its sound and sense as you write.
Can I print copies for my class?
Yes. Print as many copies as you like — it's free. For a class set, press Change the words and open More options to add an answer key, a class line or a dictation page; the Student PDF leaves the key out. Test turns the sheet into a quiz.
Can I change the words or use traditional characters?
Yes. Press Change the words to open this sheet in the generator, then add, remove or replace words, up to 20 per sheet. Set Characters to Traditional to switch the whole sheet to traditional characters; a word with no verified traditional form stays as you typed it.
How should I practice with this worksheet?
Trace the gray guides first, saying each word aloud, then cover the model and write the characters from memory in the blank boxes. Scan the sheet's QR code or open the Practice tab to watch each stroke animate, trace it, then recall it without a guide. Revisit missed words a day or two later.
