Hello Mila, nice to meet you too! Thank you for your answer to my question. I have certainly considered Chinese and it is on my "wish" list. From what little I have learned about learning the language, most people seem to suggest learning the language without the ideograms first, i.e. pin-yin and then, at a more advanced stage learning the characters. They seem to think Chinese becomes a much easier language to learn if you divide the task. This is pretty obvious stuff and you have probably thought of this already. What you might not have heard of is trying to see the pictures in the ideograms either through a study of how some of the simpler ideograms evolved or simply through using your imagination to see pictures in the characters related to the idea behind them. Hope this is helpful!

Nice to meet you too .My native language is Chinese ,we can be friends .
