Right now I want to take the moral high ground by saying a woman's personality is much more important But academically speaking, chinese girls have great hips[/quote]
Chinese do??? *runs off to inspect some chinese idols* I love hips!!!! they are my favorite part on a woman (well that you can see from the outside...)
Seriously, seriously a personality is so much more important for a relationship. I can not stand most chicks, like I can chill with them, but as far as spending lots of time together, no way. Now if we are talking about a smoking 5 hour fling, then personality means nothing, I am just looking at the hardware. But as far as living with and getting along personality is very important.
[quote="harmonium"]I don't think there's a language which is definitively the hardest to learn; it depends on your start point. .......But as a native English speaker, I totally agree that Chinese is way harder than Japanese. Way harder. Tonal languages = killer. Not to mention they use way more kanji.

heh heh, I kinda forgot that languages depends on your starting point.
But from what I understand japanese has 2 tonal levels, about 2,000 kanji that the adult uses, and an very structured easy way of speaking the language (waaaay less exceptions to the rules grammatically, besides articles and counters, I heard its not that hard).
From what I understand chinese has about 13 tonal levels (not sure, maybe 12), and uses kanji for every single word (WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!) even loanwords, plus there are so many regional accents... I heard they are like different languages, not like tokyo-ben and osaka-ben, but like english and spanish (tough break) I think most speak mandarin or cantonese, I heard of people speaking cantonese and not understanding mandarin very well at all... But I do not know much about chinese... I think vietnamese has 7 levels...
Aren't I the ignorant bloke (I love that word ) well anyways japanese is not that hard , but its still hard, lol.
lmfao, I wanted to see who he was. Here is Mr.Yamashita
