That depends people really... I personally don't think is hard to learn to write chinese cause I was born in H.K. So I have learnt to write when I was little. Some people may find it super hard on the other side...
Write is hard for me. I can't never remember every single strokes. I'd like to learn Ping Ying (the chinese characters) again. I was taugh in elementary school. Now have returned all characters back to my teacher.
its easy for me..cos now that i'm learning mandarin..i'm learning the simplified version aswel..so its all good...
