Ok, so I want your guys' opinions. I want to take both chinese and japanese at the community college this summer break. My mother said I have to choose one and focus on it, but I really think she's underestimating my abilities.I'm thinking of just going behind her back and paying the tuition for the second class myself, if it is a problem with tuition, because I don't live with her over the summer anyway, but if I do have to choose betwwen those two classes, which do you think I should choose?
Also, the reason I had to ask my mother is because I am still a sophmore in HS.=]
You need to know about 3000 characters of Kanji to be able to talk in Japanese, so I don't think you should take both Chinese and Japanese. I'm an learning Japanese on my own, so I don't know much about Chinese. But I know they look similar in appearance, and think you should focus on only one language. I would choose Japanese
I would recommend Japanese. If you ever want a job in a foreign country, what better country to be in than the most technologically advanced country in the world?
We already have over a billion people who speak Chinese languages, but it wouldn't hurt to have a few more Japanese-speakers out there...
