Actually I don't really intend to go for that list like that. I just wanted to illustrate that time wise it's possible.
What I do intend to do is to follow the same approach for the second book and learn the other 1500 characters. I've written in another comment that I've already bought some HSK1-3 graded readers and grammars that I intend to use. Maybe after that I can use the "batch" approach once more for new characters that I encounter. But the initial 3000 I think are really good base for me and my desire to start some simple reading relatively fast.
For what is worth I've tried the approach you listed and it didn't really work for me.
- yorwba 6y ago1500 characters should be more than enough for HSK-3 level reading. I just checked the vocabulary list for HSK-4 I downloaded in 2017 (but I guess it didn't change much in the meantime) and it contains only 1200 words. So my recommendation for you is to start reading now rather than learning another 1500 characters you won't have much use for until your vocabulary is much more advanced.
- _hao 6y agoThanks for the advice, I appreciate it. I've taken a small break from studying (just reviews since I finished this experiment). I might follow your advice while still going forward with the second book, but not with the 50 chars/day pace, I'll perhaps tone it down. You're right that HSK1-3 (or even 4 as you suggest) are very trivial in terms of vocabulary.
