Possibly but writing in Chinese is much more convoluted than many other languages thanks to stroke order and the like so I’d still say youd be way better off replacing it with simply a bunch of comprehensible input. Read loads of kids books/books for beginners and watch a bunch of cartoons/shows with simple language in chinese with subtitles.

Yeah but hsk is far from a necessity

My one piece of advice right off the bat, unless you have a specific need to write as a non native don’t bother. Learning to write Chinese is mostly useless for people who’s main interactions/uses will most likely be in person or online thanks to pinyin input keyboards. Focus on pronunciation and character recognition.
