Starting to learn Russian and Chinese

[Soulrack]

I started today, learnt some letters in Cyrillic alphabet and am learning simplified Chinese. Should not be that hard since I have a knack for languages I reckon; I remember that I was much more fluent and advanced in English than all my peers in elementary school.

No Russian and Chinese for your face

There is though. You definitely don't need to waste your time learning it though when you can go there and speak English.

Go for Russian. Chinese is probably hardest language in the world, whereas Russian is said to be easy when you learn the alphabets.

But there is like a 100 000 different letters compared to 33 in Russian. Russian is very easy to learn for people who have indo-european first language.

Chinese can take 4-10 years to able to have proper conversations in. I remember something about in the time it takes to get halfway through the mastery of Chinese or Japanese, you can learn Russian Twice, and Spanish 4 times. That means by the time you truly are able to be fluent in Chinese, you could have learned Russian 4 times and Spanish 8 Times.

I'm not saying this to dissuade you, I am actually also learning Russian, Japanese, and Spanish, just if you pick a big language, make sure its one you really really want to learn, because you're going to have to be dedicated to it for a long ass time.

I'd actually personally recommend learning 3 languages at once, one language that is extremely easy to learn, such as Spanish, one that is medium difficulty, such as Russian, and one that is very hard, such as Japanese.

Why learn anything?

We all eventually die and those skills are gone forever.
