Chinese words by syllable
Every word in our HSK vocabulary, grouped by its first syllable. Pick a syllable and you get the words that start with it, sorted from the most common down — with pinyin, part of speech, English meaning and a recording for each one.
Words you are most likely to meet have their own page: 学习 is an example. The long tail lives here in the grouped lists, which is why nothing in the vocabulary is a dead end.

The number next to a syllable is how many words are in that group. Words that got their own page are not counted there — browse the HSK lists for those, or search for a word directly.
