I’ve been learning Chinese for quite some time now, and will probably keep at it these coming years as it’ll be a necessity in my life, but I’d lie if I’m not constantly attracted by Japanese. I’m just afraid of picking up another life-long project, and having to balance learning Japanese with keeping up my Chinese. Has anyone learnt Japanese after Chinese? What has been your experience? Did knowing hanzi help with learning kanji?

    Very good points, I might just dedicate 15-30 minutes to it… it’s still hard for me to get past that it could be time spent on Chinese instead. But tbh I know it’s illogical as so could 16 hours of my day be.

      I get it so well. I try to spend more than 30 minutes a day learning Japanese but it’s just so hard to do more than that. I honestly don’t know why. But back in the day I couldn’t do more than 15 minutes so I guess that’s an improvement.
