Japanese vs Cantonese/Mandarin

September 27, 2008 by Avy.

As much as I love nihongo, I think it’d be smart for me to learn Chinese in it;s place. This is Philadelphia. Seriously. There is so much more use for Chinese languages than Japanese in this city. Spanish is so easy that I don’t really care about being fluent. Cantonese and Mandarin are so damned hard. It’s like learning a song with different melodies even is the lyrics are the same verse-by-verse.  I’ve tried to learn before but it’s just so hard! I can read some kanji, but it’s the speaking that’s hard for me. I figure I have until the end of next month to learn some polite things. If I’m still full of fail by the end of my maternity leave, I can accept defeat.

I’m pretty sure Xavier just pooped. Eww.

Laters!
