Clear direction at every stage.

From greetings to in-depth conversation, concrete tasks show where you are heading. Knowing what you want to do next matters more than a number.

N0–N6 / Proposed internal framework · In development

The skills and tasks below are examples of learning direction; level definitions are still being finalised. They are not a formal assessment, certification or HSK equivalent.

Select a stage to see what you can practise.

Skills can develop at different rates. Start with the situations that matter most to you.

N3 / Independent · Sample skills

Describe experiences, explain reasons and express opinions.

Move from single sentences to connected speech, explaining your ideas on familiar experiences and work plans.

  • Talk about an experience and how you felt
  • Explain a work plan and the reasons for it
  • Make suggestions and answer questions
Sample task

Present a work plan to a colleague, explain your reasons and answer a question.

Focus: Linking ideas, giving reasons and extended conversation

Examples are for discussion only; your actual starting point is confirmed through conversation and practice.

Find your starting point
through a real conversation.

A roadmap cannot replace knowing you. Your learning history and current needs together show what to practise.

  1. 01

    Share your background: what you have studied, where you use Chinese and what still feels difficult.

  2. 02

    Choose a task: introduce yourself, describe an experience or explain a work arrangement.

  3. 03

    Plan next steps together: decide what to practise first and how to review, based on feedback.

Questions about levels.

Can I work out my own stage?

You can use the examples to reflect on your learning, but they are not a formal test. Reading, listening and speaking may be at different levels, so bring specific tasks and challenges to your consultation.

How long does it take to move up a stage?

Progress depends on your level, study frequency, practice and goals. There is no fixed timeframe, and we do not promise a stage after a set number of lessons.

Are these levels the same as HSK levels?

No. N0–N6 is an internal roadmap in development with no confirmed HSK equivalence. For exam preparation, see our HSK course page.
