I have been studying J for only about a month, but I can already read and write pretty much anything I see and hear (because J has [two] phonetic alphabets), so even if I don't know what I'm seeing or writing, I can at least "produce" J and ask questions, etc. It took me months and years to achieve the same thing in C. But spoken C (Mandarin) is a breeze, once you get comfortable with the tones. <br /><br />Best,Codgitator (Cadgertator)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00872093788960965392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126049.post-34576074552078675112010-03-14T03:55:05.981+08:002010-03-14T03:55:05.981+08:00Is Japanese more complicated than Chinese?
