Wow, good on you, hope you're enjoying the experience of desovery of a new language. I speak English, Russian and Japanese, so I need a new challenge, I may take up Mandarin.
Nah, Manarin is mostly (i think) monosyllabic, wheras Japanese is polysyllabic. Interstingly enough, Kanji is based upon Chinese characters and some characters mean the same thing in both languages, but katakana and hiragana are completely different and separate from Chinese. The characters do not represent ideas as in Chinese and Kanji, but sounds/syllables.
It's all very intersting. And yes, maybe Mandarin would be a great next step, and unlike Japanese the Mandarin scentences are closer to English structure... Japanese is so backwards lol.
