Chinese Degree 2020

Anyone doing it? Or planning to do it?

One of the most widely used languages in the world yet doesn't seem a very popular degree. Everyone seems more interessted in Japense and even Korean. :biggrin:

I suspect anime culture has a role in this though. :h:

To be honest though Dragon Ball and Pokemon are awesome though.

I did Chinese Studies with Japanese at the University of Sheffield. Loved it!

That seems a bit much.
Chinese or Japanese on its own seems hard enough . 😅
What one did you find harder/ prefer

I actually found Chinese (Mandarin) a lot easier. Grammatically I found it a lot simpler than Japanese, although I am getting more into the Japanese side of things seeing as I've applied for the JET programme
