CrookedLink 0 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I took one year of Mandarin my freshmen year of High School. It's basically all about memorizing characters. It wasn't too bad. I ended the year with a B and I can now hold my own in China with things like "where's the bathroom" "nearest hotel" and general tourist shit like that. Link to post Share on other sites

showstopper24 0 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 China is taking over...Mandarin.I don't know much about Japanese, but I took Mandarin in school and it's kind of easy. It's very hard to read and write, but speaking it is easy because they use common sense in their words. For example, to say monday, you say the number 1 followed by day and tuesday is the number 2 followed by day... Link to post Share on other sites

aucu 3 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I'd go with Mandarin more people speak it than any languge in the world and you can find it in chinese retaraunts all over the world, I learned a bit of Mongolian a few years back for work, that is an uber bizaro language, they switched to the Russian letters sometime durring Soviet domination but they don't pronouce the letters in order.

Canuckickstan 2 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I voted Japanese just because it seems like such a classy language. My Vietnamese isn't getting much better after 7 years of marriage but I surprise myself sometimes with things I understand. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I don't know much about Japanese, but I took Mandarin in school and it's kind of easy. It's very hard to read and write, but speaking it is easy because they use common sense in their words.Having taken classes in 6 foreign languages and owning about 80 different dictionaries and textbooks, I can say that it's really not. If you don't come from a tonal language background, Mandarin is quite a pain actually. (Also recognize that English is probably one of the harder non-tonal languages.) That said, I'm still interested in improving my ability to say more than Ni Hao and XiaXia.Royal, if you want an easy second language, go with Spanish or Italian. Your best bet on "easy" Asian languages will be Japanese. There are a number of free podcasts that helped me learn about 30 different phrases in a couple of weeks. Link to post Share on other sites
