Ok well no offense if I'm wrong but I think you might be fibbing about learning Chinese/Japanese because I've found Chinese significantly easier than Japanese in all ways, perhaps because I don't find pronouncing the Chinese tones difficult at all, and also because Japanese is a much more formal language than Chinese.
Yeah. I'm lying. That's the only explanation.
Suits me for actually taking you seriously.
