I wanted to ask, is learning Chinese (Mandarin) hard? Especially if one is teaching themselves. At my school there is a Chinese class but I cant sign up for it anymore because it is too late and I take Japanese and next year I may take Arabic. I know alot of basic Chinese characters (Thanks to kanji) I have no tough time SOMETIMES reading basic sentences like "I am not this" or "I am not that". So I was thinking maybe I can teach myself Chinese, and also in the neighboring state (NY) there is a Chinatown so I can probably try and practice my Chinese..but although I will feel really awkward because the last time I went there, I felt like a foreing tourist
stressed So what do you think?
Learning chinese is the easiest when a friend teaches you it. Is there a chinese girl you like at your school. Why don't you ask her?
The advantage is that you can learn it while you are on a date with her. It is very interesting this way. Later you will be able to talk to her in chinese and others will not understand a word
