【New HSK1 Vocab】EP54 #1 – Greetings, Names & Goodbyes | Speed Through All 300 Words in 10 Weeks
Chinese Around You | Graded HSK Mandarin Podcast 分级中文播客Show Notes
Today we’re launching our brand new New HSK Vocabulary Series, built according to the latest official HSK 3.0 syllabus, covering every level from 1 all the way through to 9. Over the next 10 weeks, we’ll break down the full New HSK 1 vocabulary step by step, perfect for exam prep or building a solid core Chinese word bank.
For the next 10 weeks, we’ll release 2 episodes every week: one from this new vocabulary series, plus our regular weekly episode for beginner, intermediate and advanced learners — our core weekly content will continue as always, with no changes.
In this episode, we’re covering 34 essential HSK 1 words: greetings, name exchanges, goodbyes, basic pronouns, and simple starter questions for daily conversations. Every word includes clear pinyin, English translations, and practical example sentences you can use right away.
You can find the vocabulary list for this episode on Patreon, along with complete transcripts for all our past episodes, episode-based exercises, and all bonus episodes with their full transcripts.

A big welcome to our newest patron, John! Thank you for joining the Chinese Around You Patreon — your support keeps every episode free for learners everywhere.
You know that Chinese friend who's always polite, always remembers the small things you say, but somehow keeps their distance in groups? They might actually be into you. Here are 5 crush behaviors only Chinese people do, see if they match.
You walk into a shop just to look around, yet shop assistants keep trailing you, constantly recommending products and pushing you to buy. You hate the awkward atmosphere but don’t know how to politely send them away. You also struggle to ask for trying on clothes, tasting snacks or testing goods naturally, only able to gesture silently. Master these short lines, and you can wander shops freely without being disturbed, plus ask to try any item confidently.
I haven't seen comments on these vocab episodes yet, and I honestly don't know if you're loving them or if they're just not your thing. If you want this series to continue beyond HSK 1, let me know in the comments. Even a quick “keep going” or “yes” counts. If this podcast gets 10 comments, I'll take that as a green light and start working on the next HSK level right away. No pressure, just if you want more.
Thanks for being here. This podcast is where stories, language, and connection meet. Whether you’re here to learn Chinese, find calm, or feel less alone—you belong. I’m so grateful you’re listening.
