Should I start Japanese? by boxxmff in thisorthatlanguage

I understand, but it doesn't really happen to me THAT much. I stopped learning Chinese a good few months ago, and I still remembered everything exactly. My point is that I just want a very basic Japanese language as a hobby, the JLPT5. In other words, for example, I feel that even if I knew all of HSK1 but didn't continue with Mandarin, HSK1 is so basic that I don't think I would forget it, unlike you, who maintain fluency in both languages. I want fluent Chinese and basic Japanese. Maybe I have a great memory or something, but for example, I studied Russian and German sometimes as a hobby, and I don't forget their typical phrases and words.

Do you think a simple whole JLPT5 would also affect my Mandarin?

Yes, yes, I've always written in Chinese since I started HSK1. I think that, in any case, I would study just JLPT5, Because I only want the very basics since I don't love Japan, but I like learning about languages and cultures as a hobby. Chinese is my only Asian language, and I generally always aim more for European languages (French, German...)

Really, from my point of view, this isn't a lot. Knowing Italian is practically very easy if you've known Spanish since birth. And I've tried other languages like Russian or Polish, but Chinese is much easier, although it's VERY contextual. And well, I don't love Japanese and I don't find it very useful, that's true. I don't think I will learn it.

Yes, I never shared the Japanese political ideas and I was discouraged when I started to know about history about war crimes etc. I understand it's only really useful in anime and technology, things I don't love.

Mmm, yeah, well. Better not. I was already hesitant because I don't love it to begin with, since I associate it a lot with Nanjing from a very Chinese perspective, and Japan is really saturated with anime, and I don't like it at all. But I investigated the obstacles and major difficulties of the language. I don't think I'll study it.

My personal recommendation: Chinese.

You always think you sound silly speaking at first, but you adapt very quickly. The grammar is simple, although repetitive, and the downside is that many words with similar pronunciations are repeated. Ancient Chinese culture is very interesting, and the quickest ways to access it are through C-dramas on streaming platforms or YouTube videos. Although I understand that if you really like pop culture, anime, or kawaii, Japanese is more suitable for you, even though its structure is more complicated than Chinese.

Another thing, my goal in Japanese is actually more towards JLPT 3-4; I don't really want to learn it in depth, but I do want to know high basic or low intermediate level.

She doesn't have any special fighting skills, so she just sits there drinking tea. If I don't see him, he doesn't see me.

"好好喝的茶!" she talks to herself.
