Our advice to make the best use of it:
- Review the characters, one after the other, to be sure you know all related HSK words for a given character. It all starts from 爱 ài: love (hsk1) to 座 zuò: seat, base (hsk4) The characters lists offered by HSK Academy are displayed with various insights: audio, pinyin, translations, sentence examples and so on... We recommend you to create a "memory palace" for each character: for each of them, you can draw a card containing the hanzi, the pinyin, the main meaning, and you draw items representing or symbolizing the various words which contain the given character. Add their pinyin, but no need of adding the hanzi of other characters because you will create their dedicated cards. This is the most efficient and personal manner to quickly memorize characters, words and concepts for each given character. It does not need to be art, just make it personal and relatable and the payoff will be huge.
Example of one of our student using this method: for 子 zi, he has looked at each word from level 1 to 4 which include 子, and has represented the items on a image he as drawn so that he will easily remember that lion, rabbit, table, chair, chopstick, grandson, wife... all include 子!
