Based on your experience, what level of proficiency would you expect from 1.5 years of 3hrs/day study? 3000 actually tracks about right from what I know. Here's some information with little backing: I've read somewhere that children pick up around 10 new words a day, and at the peak of my full time language studies, that was what I was achieving as well. Considering that it takes a few months to ramp up to that speed (I've read that it takes about 10 separate exposures to a word for it to become memorable), his 3000 characters for 1.5 years is pretty good.
