My girlfriend is Chinese >.> and she speaks Mandarin Chinese...So I hear SOME of what she says and I understand when she's mad, sad or happy. Or when she's talking about me to her father ><....But someone told me that Chinese is a lot harder to learn than Japanese from an American standpoint...Is that true? cause it doesn't seem like it is in my opinion...But that could be because I'm around it and hear it?
