David Moser wrote an essay telling people to focus more on Pinyin and not stress about characters until much later. I totally agree with him. Maybe one day the CCP will force everyone to Pinyin and I can finally read without having to look up half a sentence.

- lacampbell 10y agoI'll put in a vote for Zhuyin: - more consistent (no confusing between the two sounds for "u" for example). - better IMEs - you can filter characters by tone, impossible to do with Google Pinyin for example. - can be used to type Simplified and Traditional - no interference/preconceptions from other languages written in the latin alphabet.
