How do you actually learn these lists?
Memorising a list cold rarely sticks. In HaHa Chinese you meet the words inside sentences (translator, readings, grammar), capture them as you go, and the app brings each one back just before you forget it. For HSK 1–4, the free Hanzi Tree book teaches the same words as character families.
