[ Jizo Bosatsu ] I took an introductory course in University, so I know the basics. 你好! 我姓菩薩, 叫地蔵菩薩. 你认识很高兴, et cetera. My pronunciation still sucks, but I'm getting better. I'd like to get better at it, and perhaps learn Cantonese one day, too. I enjoy learning languages, and I really like the way Mandarin and Cantonese sound, and their written forms are lovely in my opinion. 地蔵菩薩 cool~ i assumes that isn't ur real name yes? personally, i think cantonese is much harder to learn than learning mandarin, but mandarin does sounds better~

@wing_goddess: women writers... like who?

In Japanese, those characters are pronounced as Jizo Bosatsu. Tee-hee! Cantonese does seem much more difficult than Mandarin, and I've been told that if I am going to learn any Chinese language, I should begin with Mandarin because it's easier for foreigners to pick up. Then, if I gain any proficiency with it, it would be a good idea to attempt Cantonese. tayata
