I finished the conversation questions in my level 3 textbook, and did some level 3 conversation listening exercises. I got most of the answers right, so I was quite pleased.

Now that I’ve been through my HSK 1-4 vocabulary book, I’ve gone back to the beginning and started copying out the example sentences. I’ve also bought two books to practice writing by comparing the characters with their Japanese versions. I also did a unit from my Read Aloud book.

I did quite a lot today. I did a unit from my Read Aloud book, practiced repeating and shadowing using conversations from my level 4 test book, and copied out 112 words from my HSK 1-4 vocabulary book. I have now seen and written all the characters and vocabulary for HSK 4 at least once. The next step is to remember them.
