Nobody is learning Mandarin. Not even the Chinese! LOL

They're all relying on automatic translation and even the Chinese are using speech recognition to enter characters on their phones. The written language is rapidly being forgotten.

...which is the destiny of all pictographic and logographic languages so it shouldn't be seen as a bad thing, necessarily ๐Ÿคท

I'm learning Mandarin, but do go on. Also, maybe talk to people actually living in China to find out how they do input lol.
