Pronunciation points by level

Revision as of 02:00, 17 March 2015 by WikiSysop (talk | contribs)

In order to properly measure and track client progress, no matter what study resources the client is using, AllSet Learning has developed lists of pronunciation points, organized by level. If you're not sure where your pronunciation knowledge stands, take a look at one of these levels, and if you can find one where you know MOST of the pronunciation points already, work through the rest until you're totally confident with the whole list, and then move on to the next level.

A1 Pronunciation Points

A1 Pronunciation Points (Beginner / HSK 1): for absolute beginners (be sure to check out the pinyin chart!)

B1 Pronunciation Points

B1 Pronunciation Points (Intermediate / HSK 3): for those with roughly one year of formal Chinese study (this section is still being actively developed and expanded)

Notes on the Levels

AllSet Learning has adopted the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which uses the "A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2" system, corresponding to levels beginner through advanced. These levels also have equivalents in the ACTFL (American) standards.
