Chinese characters are difficult as fuck

I speak Filipino and English. I could read Hangul but can't understand shit lol. I could also read and understand basic Japanese. Our school had a Chinese subject back when I was grade school. I loved copying the Chinese characters, but now I barely remember anything. Chinese characters are very difficult to remember.

Hahaha.. started learning chinese... and for me, the tones are so great.. i sometimes know the chinese character pronounciation just by looking at an unknown character .. its like.. uy mukhang "shi" ito.. coz i use my japanese kanji reading instinct in reading it .. tas yun pla "xi" nga siya.. ibang spelling lang.. haha

I lived in China for 4 and a half years so I completely understand. I forgot pretty much everything I knew besides counting and can say a few very, very basic things, but overall I practically learned nothing. Not to mention because there are tones, if you say a tone wrong it can become a completely different word.

Yeah! The tones! They're so difficult to do, whenever my Chinese teacher demonstrated, I just get confused lol
