Question
Maybe you don´t know the answer to this question, but I was about to learn either Japanese of Chinese.
Could you tell me the difference about them?

Answer
Hey there,

Japanese was invented based on Chinese. That's why you can see lots of Chinese Characters in Japanese, though the meaning of the character may not exactly the same. Even nowadays, Chinese characters are still used in big and important occasions in Japan. The interesting thing is even Chinese people think it's difficult to learn Japanese. I'm not sure whether Japnaese think alike. But I'm sure it's always a hard work to learn a foreign language.

Good luck to you!

Best wishes,
Shannon
