Which kind of chinese signs would you recommend to learn: traditional or simplified? Hello,

I'm a beginner in learning chinese and I recently noticed that there is a traditional group of chinese signs and the simplified version. Now I feel really helpless: What is more useful to learn, which is more widely spread?

I hope you can give me an advice soon!

Thanks and Bye!

I recommend you learn simplified.  There are far more resources available. 

I have been in chat rooms where some people use simplified and some traditional (Mainlanders and Taiwanese)  you will find that you already recognise 50% of the traditional characters and will begin to recognise the more common traditional words.  Besides, many traditional users will recognise the simplified form.

Hey, thanks for that quick answer! Your example has convinced me: I will rather try the simplified ones, when even you have a problem with the traditional signs.  ;)

PS: Na klar kannst du mich dutzen, im Internet benutzt man in Deutschland die "Sie-Form" nur bei formellen Kontakten.

In the mainland people use Simplified. Hangkong and Taiwan use Traditional.
So apparently Simplified is more widely spread. Besides, Traditional is far too difficult, z.B, 参观(Simplified, means "besuchen") in Traditional Chinese is correspondingly 參觀. Even I as a Chinese cannot write it right, I have to copy from a traditional chinese website.
Alledings du kannst sich entscheiden~  Viel Spaß beim Lernen.
