This would be easier if Chinese words used an alphabet like most languages.
It infuriates me how you can't tell how a Chinese character is pronounced by the way it looks.
You're forced to learn every single word twice — how it sounds, AND what it looks like. It's wildly inefficient.
A couple hours into the lesson, a kid toward the back of the room raises his hand.
Teacher, how many Chinese characters are there?
{font=traditional_chinese.otf}老師，中文字總共有幾個？{/font}

It's just a tool for absorbing blood.
No! You'll be able to feel it the whole time, and it goes into...
Her mom can't even bear to say it.
It's the same as having sex with a man.
