the simplified ones are easier to remember for me because that's what my teacher teaches me
the traditional ones I always have to check on Google translate
but yes simplified is babby's first alien language
😦
oh, I'm actually the opposite
I am trying to remember both sets but that's a lot of learning
given that you spend time in taiwan, I would lean towards trad but I might be biased
and I'm guessing people there often write simplified anyway because it's less effort?
no they don't, they totally stick 100% to traditional, to the point that my gf needs Google translate for simplified ones
But I'm going to chink school twice a week and the teacher is a Beijing qt
it will be almost impossible to find someone who professionally teaches you trad. characters in Zurich
does she teach you erhua <:thonk:288060975775612929>

I just googled this on my xiaomi, how arrested will I be the next time I go to China?
nah the sensors dont understand english
although its estimated they have like 3 million employees watching the internet for people saying shit they dont like
Just found out chinese randomly has complex numerals
一 壹 1
二 貳 2
三 叁 3
四 肆 4
五 伍 5
六 陸 6
七 柒 7
八 捌 8
九 玖 9
十 拾 10
Why did they do this?
it's used for financials
But why?
can't alter a 貳 into a 叁
like you could 二 into 三
oh okay
the japanese use it as well
makes sense
it's like when we write our numbers out on financial documents
