Well, my point is that Latin characters are much easier to learn than Chinese. You only have to memorize 26 characters, half a dozen punctuation symbols, and a dozen keywords vs. thousands of pictograms.

- jhanschoo 7y agoThis really isn't a problem for the task of learning PLs in Chinese where the number of keywords is bounded... I would agree that Han characters are a suboptimal technology for everyday written communication due to its large character inventory but this is not a topic where that seems to pose a problem.
