yeah thats pretty much the same with chinese

XD kanji is chinese characters, I'd assume it's the same.

So, like 7 more shards and I'll have enough for three full shard sets.

its not really the same

I know they don't mean the same things, I just meant that I figured the same sort of thing applied.

same process but the characters look different. Like I can see the difference between japanese characters and chinese characters.

._. Japanese... use... chinese characters, though. I mean I know they mean different things depending on the language, but Kanji in Japanese are still chinese characters. Of course hiragana and katakana are Japanese but... yeah.

some are the same some aren't though. Anyway yeah I never thought I'd be able to read Chinese but when I was I was so happy I was like "OMG I CAN READ THIS" xD

Haha, I'm sure. I'm excited if I know a kanji on a Japanese sign. Haha.

Yeah its always exciting. And like I said I wish I could take it this semester again. It sucks the one semester I can't take chinese its apparently the one where all they do is chat and watch movies

I'm stuck in J1. Which sucks since I've taken three years already. Granted I am learning a few things, most things are annoyingly boring reviews. It's almost a waste of money.

I took 2 semesters of basic Chinese 1 but one was during high school so that doesn't really count. Though I am glad I took it again in college because I started learning how to read characters vs in high school I couldn't read Chinese at all

Ah my high school class was really good, I thought. Except she left a few things out when learning some things, so yeah...

yeah in high school I don't think I learned anything except how to use a chinese dictionary which I didn't learn until year 2 in college xD

XD It goes by strokes, doesn't it?

Yeah it does
