>>3667324I'm surprised Coco thinks Chinese is difficult. I learned a little Mandarin (then spent time in both Taiwan and West Taiwan) around decade prior to picking up Japanese. My take is that Mandarin is far easier. Even learning Japanese with the Chinese background was still pretty frustrating by comparison.
I don't know, maybe it would be harder going the other way around? Knowing Japanese with its intense grammar and super-overloaded pronunciations for each character, and then going to a simpler system? It doesn't seem like that would be as hard.
Pic unrelated, but is one of my favorites. I think it even predates Coco revealing this would be her version of the idol outfit (the artist just guessed correctly)?
