Having knowledge of the characters as a starting point is certainly a great asset, even if there are differences and lots of additional learning necessary. For me, written Chinese doesn't look very intimidating, but comprehending spoken Chinese is tough. Thanks for the tip on the BBC podcast, that certainly looks useful. Good luck and have fun learning Japanese! brian, seems like we’re doing the same thing from opposite directions… interesting.

It's encouraging to know someone is reading... :) I think there's a lot of synergy in learning Japanese and Chinese, so it's definitely a good idea for anyone who enjoys learning languages. I'll write some more about how my first month studying Chinese has been - I was actually going to do that in this post but it got long enough as it is... Hi Sarah, thanks a lot for your comment!

Congrats on starting with Chinese now. I like your approach to learning languages. I also want to learn Chinese once I have acquired skill in Japanese, but that could be years down the road. :) I really appreciate your blog and I read it whenever there is an update.
