Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì (汉语水平考试, often simply HSK) is the People’s Republic of China‘s government-recognized spoken standard Chinese and written simplified Chinese proficiency test.
It’s broken into six levels, each having a new block of characters to learn.
With clear difficulty levels and government backing, it’s the clear model to use to learn the major language of China.
