i can speak it fluently but i'm not good at reading and writing it if it's too complex

because of our multi-racial society english is the lingua franca here anyway, so chinese is not that important unless you're courting clients from china or something

Is chinese an extremely difficult language?

It's hard for me to give an objective answer since I've been speaking it since I was very young but the one thing about it as compared to english or other euro languages is that chinese has a ton of characters to memorise so it can get pretty grindy

but i've seen non-native speakers that i know become probably more proficient at it than me, so it's a matter of practice too i suppose

What's the difference between chinese, cantonese and mandarin?

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

chinese = mandarin if we're talking about china's official language

cantonese is a chinese dialect, kinda like how afrikaans is sort of a dutch dialect (?)

if you're fluent in cantonese you're likely fluent in chinese too but the opposite doesn't really apply

My taiwanese friend told me that's mainland propaganda and the chinese languages are too far apart to be considered dialects of mandarin, and that the mutual intelligibility is worse than like, spanish v french.

Chinese diaspora politics are very dramatic.

It's not quite as bad as it sounds, for example in English there are tones you can use for other semantic meaning, like the difference between a rising tone “help?” and a panicked “help!”. Also it's usually not impossible to figure out what word someone means by context clues.

It's an extremely simple language gatekept by weird pronounciation and a huge amount of hieroglyphs
