How the course uses these words
The game introduces words in the order shown. Each word comes with several sentences: easy ones first, then medium and hard ones that combine it with words you already know. You meet them in quests, mini-games, and conversations rather than as a list.
The intro course covers the first words. The expansion continues it inside the game with more words and easy sentences for each one.
Reading stories
The Mandarin course also has short reading stories set in the game’s village. Each one uses only the words a player has learned by that point, footnotes the few it needs beyond them, and ends with comprehension questions. Some unlock as the game’s story moves on, so they may give parts of it away.
Where the list comes from
The words are drawn from the HSK vocabulary levels and ordered for a first course, so the most useful words for simple conversations come first. The sentences are written for the course, and each one is recorded in two voices.
