Toey is opening HSK…
Tone-coloured pinyin, handwriting in the right stroke order, Sino-Vietnamese readings for every character and mock tests in the 2025 format. The first sitting in the new format is on 13/12/2026.
One colour per tone, so tones stick.
Learners often get the sound right and the tone wrong. Toey's shadowing checks every syllable, so you fix the exact spot instead of guessing.
Free: HSK 1 clips · HSK Pro: clips at every level
The new syllabus came out in November 2025 and the first sitting in the new format is on 13/12/2026. HSK 1 is now 300 words, not the 500 of the 2021 list many courses still teach. Studying the old list means extra work, and still missing what the test asks.
| Level | 2021 list | 2025 syllabus |
|---|---|---|
| HSK 1 | 500 | 300 |
| HSK 2 | 1,272 | 500 |
| HSK 3 | 2,245 |
Screens from the app, scaled down. Tap each one to look.
Pick the meaning, pick the tone, build the syllable, hear and pick. Toey checks the answer; you never grade yourself. A miss comes back two cards later.
Pick your level and exam date, and Toey spreads the work over every day until the test: words, characters and grammar first, then the test formats, then full tests in the last week. A weekly check-in shifts next week toward your weakest part.
All of HSK 1 is free. HSK 2 and up are HSK Pro.
Study HSK 1 free, no card needed. Take the short placement test and Toey suggests a level and plans every day to your exam.

"I taught myself English and Japanese, on my own. No school, no tutor. I scored 905 on the TOEIC, passed JLPT N2, and I'm preparing for IELTS on Toey right now. When I studied alone, I always missed three things: a clear plan, explanations that make sense, and knowing how far I was from my goal. I built Toey so you have all three."
