New HSK 1 & 2 (2026 Syllabus) — 500-Word Printable Flashcards, Anki Deck & Study Tracker

Studying for the new HSK (2026 syllabus)? The word lists changed: in the HSK Syllabus published in November 2025 and implemented from July 2026, HSK 1 has 300 words and HSK 2 adds 200 more (500 total). Many flashcard sets online still follow the old HSK 2.0 lists (150 / 300 words) or the 2021 draft (500 / 1,272 words). This pack follows the new list, in its official order.
