Home and everyday objects,
level by level

The house and what is in it, in Chinese: rooms, furniture, household objects and everyday possessions, from the HSK vocabulary lists with readings and meanings.

In Lock&Learn Chinese these words sit in their level packs (HSK 1, HSK 2), one per glance on the widget: a word waits in hanzi with its pinyin; one tap reveals the meaning and a real sentence. HSK 1 is free; every other pack opens with a free preview and another word unlocks daily.

Type to filter by hanzi, pinyin or meaning. Flashcards hides the meaning until you tap a row; Shuffle deals the list in a new order.
