Is it as hard to learn mandarin/cantonese chinese as they say? I am thinking of learning one of the two aswel?

For the record, I speak Dutch and English fluently. German and French could be (much) better.

English, learning German, took Spanish 1 (hated it) took 4 years of Italian, still remember some, and know 1 phrase in Latin.

A few words, lies... my 4 year old cousin talks fluently as do I. We're both at about the same level when it comes to writing as well. So if you did not grow up there, it is a hell of a strugle to learn. My spoken mandarin is pretty horrible, but my cantonese is ok. Seriously mate, don't try to learn to write chinese unless you wanna spend a lot of time on it.

I speak Spanish and English, in the process of learning Japanesse.

BTW: If you know Spanish, it really help when you're learning Japanesse.
