Hi Nick,
After days of editing I have a set of New HSK lists for all levels which should be darn close to 100% correct. Can you help me to upload these as textbooks and merge out and remove existing custom lists which have a number of errors? Shoot me an email if you like. Cheers - Neil

Yes! This is great. I will work on this today. I think it is also good to order the words in them by toughness rather than alpha, yes?

I'll send you the master list, whats your email address?

Order either way is fine, one hurdle you have with toughness is that there will always be a number of words in level X which are deemed easier than some words in level X-1. If we put lists up which are incremental and not cumulative this avoids this effect being seen.

They're done! Thanks so much Neil, Mark Painter, Murray James, west316, and others who helped with these lists. They're looking really good. I have done incremental lists ordered by toughness within each level.

That's great, thanks to those who worked on it.

Just wondering, but is the content really that much different between the old and the new HSK? Is there's a big percentage of vocab change?

The new HSK list only has 5k words. The old one has 8882.

cheers nick, i can see that you added definitions for the more difficult words and chengyu's, thanks!

Hi Nick, the following 2 are missing from Level 6:
纪要, 覆盖

Skritter entries:
纪要 [紀-] jìyào: summary of a meeting; minutes
"复"盖 [覆蓋] fùgài: to cover (first char should be 覆)

Oh, right! Got them in. Actually, it did have our maimed 覆蓋, but it was missing 抽空. Soon we will be able to fix 覆蓋.

Murray James actually added in the missing definitions. Skritter thought they were in Chinese and I moved them over.
