But mam there are 1200 new words in hsk 4 but in this all videos only 500 plus
HSK 4 has roughly 600 words. It is HSK 5 that has over 1200 words.
❤❤
There were so many words that all meant 'but' in this video, it would be better if you could explain the differences between all those buts.
Mam only hsk4 word
Fantastic video, so helpful! But please, buy a new microphone, too many pops..
