SGT_Conti 05/12/17 8:11:32 PM #46:	If you count Chinese as a whole, the spoken language is hell to learn. I'm told Cantonese is harder than Mandarin because it has more tones, but I only really have experience with the former and never really bothered much with the latter because I'm shit with languages. The written Chinese is just... a total nightmare to learn. Other than some words, it's mostly just memorization. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.2 <cite>SGT_Conti posted [p:878991348] in Which lang...

Both were the same for me, same number of characters in each syllabary, right? hiragana look more distinct imo, there's a bunch of katakana that look very similar to each other also hiragana get used a lot more so you'll see them a lot more so you'll get a lot more practice and they'll just naturally feel easier I've also heard of people having more trouble with katakana and I agree that they seem more alien than hiragana. Although I never had a problem with either of them, aside from the usual look-alikes in the beginning (nu - me / re - ne - wa in hiragana) (chi - tsu / so - n in katakana). --- Kun menee sutta pakoon, tulee karhu vastaan.

I always thought katakana was harder. I even had an easier time with Kanji because I am very visual and can remember complicated details. But throw two simple things with a slight variegation and I'll mix them up all the time. And I say speaking Japanese in a formal way is very difficult. --- got sand?
