I dont want to cheat by looking up the last character. But I realise how little remains in my memory of all the chinese I studied many years ago. If you do not live in China, forgetting the characters is inevitable. When I recall the countless hours spent in learning and how the learning process is a neverending process of everyday life, I feel happy for my own phonetics based language that does not rely in memorisation burnout. Rune reading is surely cool, but impractical.

>>175048 Those languages are still phonetics based in the writing. For every language you always need to learn grammar and vocabulary, regardless of what it is. In that regard they are all the same, be it latin, english, korean, italian, german, turkish, russian, etc. But when it comes to writing and reading, learning symbols/characters and memorising them by heart into what they mean and how to pronounce them, is worlds appart from learning a small symbol set which is the alphabet
