should I learn Chinese or Japanese

Japanese

Chinese is just too damn hard as a tonal language but you will be able to learn a basic level of Chinese reading comprehension by learning Japanese Kanji

>> No.9076279

Japanese is more fun, and hiragana makes its texts easier to understand imo. Kanji's still there, but hiragana can allow one to communicate with others without the need for it.

Japanese also doesn't include the intonational difference between words. It's easier, and more fun (imo).

What're you trying to learn for? My answer largely depends on your purpose, bud.

Neither... communication between people speaking different languages is something for a machine to do.
In LESS than 10 years there will be automatic language translations available to anyone with a phone.

Study more math.

ooohhh, first and second language speakers, to be fair, that's probably because chinese is taught as a second language in schools much like spanish in america. Almost all of my Hong Kong friends can speak mandarin even though Cantonese is their first language.

both languages are easy as fuck but mandarin is far easier because it doesn't have convoluted grammar. Tones are easy.

Japanese is near useless unless you plan to do business or live there. Chinese is much more useful as it's used in other countries and it's more important for business.

The Entire Europe & East Asia were destroyed in WW2, specially Germany , UK, France, Japan, China, Korea & Russia. What the fuck are you talking about?!
Reminder that Korean Peninsula was entirely destroyed during Korean War.
Both Germany & Japan lost WW2 war, were rebuilt & became extremely rich countries afterwards.
Korea situation after Korean War was nothing different from the entire Europe after WW2.

Neither because then you'll understand the insults they throw behind your back in their language which will make you extremely triggered.

Its always better to not understand them and laugh it off if they say something insulting. This will in turn make them look like the idiots because you're just casually laughing it off.

Koreans weren't a losing party in WW2. Like France and the UK, despite damage, were winners. The subsequent Korean war hasn't ended yet. Japan on the other hand was definitely a loser in WW2 and had their rebuild dictated to them by the winners. This dramatically affected their culture over the long term.

Nobody should learn python, it's shit. So are you for suggesting it.

Suicide rate is part of what >>9077721 is talking about. The ugly women are offing themselves to free up resources for the pretty ones. If only Europeans would do this.
