depends on the orthography. I find Chinese much harder to read than Italian. part of that is because of me, and part of that is because of how their writing systems are designed.
so I think you’d be getting a better “deal” out of Chinese if you could magically learn the writing too. but without that, well… students pour thousands of hours into learning them, and I’ll still have to do that too
Italian i can just bibbity bop my way to the future, hello see ya later
