Bham!
It Took me 4 months which works out to be like 2.8 characters a day. I didn’t start from 100% scratch though, as I’ve previously learnt 150 chars of the old HSK 1 a few years ago. But it’s been literally years since then so I’d definitely forgotten a good chunk of them. I’m in my 40’s with a wife, kids, house, career etc so wasn’t trying to go too fast, just trying to be consistent.
Assuming this keeps up, hoping too knock off the HSK 2 list before the end of the year. It’ll be interesting to see if I can. On the one hand since I’ve already learnt loads of the components and sounds there isn’t as much “scaffolding” to learn along with HSK2 list. But on the fip side there will be many words I’m learning for the first time (as opposed to HSK 1 where I knew all the words already, just couldn’t ready/write most of them). Interesting to see if it’s faster/slower/equal with the HSK2 list - either way I’m sure it’ll be different!
