Ha! It's a ridiculous language, although as far as I can discern
it has set characters unlike Chinese, which makes it much easier to learn (30 different ones methinks). I have a couple of friends teaching in China and they're loving it.

That'll be handy.
I know about 1,000 Chinese characters I reckon, and I'm nowhere near able to read a newspaper or anything.
