audio series that covers HSK 3?

[dlee85]

I've recently signed up for the HSK 3 test which is about a month away. At the moment I am listening to Pimsleur and on lesson 15 of the first course (I'm a bit out of practice so thought I would start with that first).

Personally, I find that if I hear the vocabulary in context, I can pick it up easily when it comes to reading the characters.

Can someone recommend some podcasts/audio tapes that cover most, if not all, of the HSK 3 vocabulary?

Dlee,

I don't know to what extent Pimsleur covers HSK level 3, but I think Pimsleur is quite effective and should cover a good amount in levels 1-3.

I'm also working thru Pimsleur mandarin 1, and I'm at lesson 16 too. I find the "2x" option on my iPod very useful: it forces me to think faster, listen faster, but still leaving enough time for a response at reasonable speed. Also, working thru it (note "working" vs "listening") at high speed helps keep from getting bored if the material is not new for you.

I'd like to know if anyone has gone thru Pimsleur further and can speak to how well it helps for HSK in particular.

Hello,

I'm also searching a textbook with audio which prepare to New HSK Level 3. The textbook should accompany the student from Level 2 to Level 3, cover specifically HSK 3, focus on the grammar and the 300 new words only. Most of textbooks do not follow HSK levels and includes vocabulary outside the official list.

Dlee, at the end, did you found meterial for your studies?

Thanks for your tips!!
