HSK 2 Chinese Character Writing Workbook by the New HSK 3.0 Standard - Russian Edition

A Handwriting Workbook for the Step Beyond HSK 1

This Russian-language workbook is designed for learners who already understand the basic principles of Chinese character writing and are ready to continue with HSK 2 vocabulary from the new standard.

The workbook follows a stable routine throughout: review the word, pinyin, Russian meaning and stroke sequence, then practise the complete written form in Mi Zi Ge squares. As the characters become more detailed, learners are encouraged to notice familiar components and pay closer attention to balance within the square.

What the Workbook Contains

• 73 A4 pages in PDF format, including a cover, introduction, contents section, handwriting practice pages, completion certificate and final Hanziway page.
• A pinyin-based contents section with page references for locating individual vocabulary items.
• Up to three vocabulary entries per practice page.
• The Chinese word, pinyin and Russian meaning for each entry.
• Stroke-order guidance for every character in the word.
• Three rows of 15 Mi Zi Ge cells for model-based and independent writing.
• Name and date fields at the top of each practice page.
• A self-assessment section at the bottom of the page.
• A completion certificate at the end of the workbook.

How Each Vocabulary Entry Works

The target word is presented in a large format, followed by pinyin and a Russian definition. A stroke-order sequence appears beside it. For multi-character vocabulary, the writing sequence is provided separately for each character.

Below the reference area are three Mi Zi Ge rows. Model characters appear in the first cells, while the remaining cells provide space for independent repetition. The internal guide lines help learners judge the centre of the character, component placement and overall proportions.

Because the same layout is used throughout the workbook, learners can focus on the character itself rather than interpreting a new type of exercise on every page.

What Learners Can Practise

• following the displayed stroke sequence;
• recognising recurring components in unfamiliar characters;
• balancing complex elements within a square;
• connecting written form with pinyin and Russian meaning;
• writing single-character and multi-character vocabulary;
• returning to difficult words for spaced review;
• developing more controlled and legible handwriting.

A Suggested Practice Routine

• Read the Chinese word, pinyin and Russian meaning.
• Review the stroke sequence for each character.
• Identify familiar components and observe their relative size.
• Copy the printed model in the opening cells.
• Write the complete word independently in the remaining cells.
• Use the self-assessment area to record the result.
• Revisit difficult entries after a short break instead of repeating them all at once.

Ways to Use the Workbook

Independent Study

The contents pages support either a complete start-to-finish route or targeted review of selected words. The consistent page layout makes it practical to divide the workbook into short handwriting sessions.

Tutoring and Chinese Lessons

Teachers and tutors can select individual pages for guided handwriting practice or assign specific entries between lessons. Up to three words per page provide a clearly defined amount of work.

HSK 2 Written Vocabulary Review

The workbook is useful for learners who recognise HSK 2 vocabulary when reading but still need structured practice reproducing the characters by hand.

Why Mi Zi Ge Matters at This Stage

HSK 2 introduces longer words and characters with denser internal structure. Mi Zi Ge guides help learners see where each component begins, how much space it should occupy and how the complete character remains balanced.

The three-row format supports a gradual move from copying the printed model to writing without direct visual support.
