of course mandarin is useful but it's ****ing insane. i see so many chinese symbols on boxes and **** at work i thought maybe i could start learning what some of the symbols meant... not speak the language properly but just learn some of the symbols. i was dumbfounded at the complexity and gave up rather quickly as it wasn't something i was really looking to dedicate an excessive amount of time to. that language was designed specifically to make westerners feel dumb, i believe.

Are you sure you don't mean Cantonese? Mandarin and Cantonese are the two most prevalent languages in China, but Cantonese is the most used.
