yeah thats pretty much the same with chinese

[Azrael]

XD kanji is chinese characters, I'd assume it's the same.

[Azrael]

So, like 7 more shards and I'll have enough for three full shard sets.

[Zao]

its not really the same

[Azrael]

I know they don't mean the same things, I just meant that I figured the same sort of thing applied.

[Zao]

same process but the characters look different. Like I can see the difference between japanese characters and chinese characters.

[Azrael]

._. Japanese... use... chinese characters, though. I mean I know they mean different things depending on the language, but Kanji in Japanese are still chinese characters. Of course hiragana and katakana are Japanese but... yeah.

[Zao]

some are the same some aren't though. Anyway yeah I never thought I'd be able to read Chinese but when I was I was so happy I was like "OMG I CAN READ THIS" xD

[Azrael]

Haha, I'm sure. I'm excited if I know a kanji on a Japanese sign. Haha.

[Zao]

Yeah its always exciting. And like I said I wish I could take it this semester again. It sucks the one semester I can't take chinese its apparently the one where all they do is chat and watch movies

[Azrael]

I'm stuck in J1. Which sucks since I've taken three years already. Granted I am learning a few things, most things are annoyingly boring reviews. It's almost a waste of money.

[Zao]

I took 2 semesters of basic Chinese 1 but one was during high school so that doesn't really count. Though I am glad I took it again in college because I started learning how to read characters vs in high school I couldn't read Chinese at all

[Azrael]

Ah my high school class was really good, I thought. Except she left a few things out when learning some things, so yeah...

[Zao]

yeah in high school I don't think I learned anything except how to use a chinese dictionary which I didn't learn until year 2 in college xD

[Azrael]

XD It goes by strokes, doesn't it?

[Zao]

Yeah it does
