Weather and nature,
level by level

Weather and nature words in Chinese: rain, snow, wind, hot and cold, cloudy and sunny, and the landscape words such as mountain, river, sea and sky. All from the HSK vocabulary lists with readings and meanings.

In Lock&Learn Chinese these words sit in their level packs (HSK 1, HSK 2, HSK 3, HSK 4 and more), 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.
