Lesson 1character list

This lesson has 18 characters: 4 for writing and 14 for recognition. Each entry carries hanyu pinyin, the word as it appears in the textbook, and an English gloss. The list follows 《欢乐伙伴》 the 2015 edition.

Note: Primary 3 moved to the 2024 refresh of 《欢乐伙伴》 in 2026. This list still follows the 2015 edition and may differ from the current textbook. We are working on the update.
