I used to hate it when I started out, but when I figured out that they’re basically just made up of lots of radicals it made it easier to come up with mnemonics. So whenever I have to write my address and can’t remember how to write 新 I just kind of mumble to myself, “standing on a tree…”
My first language is French but I’m pretty good at English tho

Oh gosh the ones with 500 strokes! They terrify me! The sad thing about languages for me is that the more I learn, the more I realise that I know so little! 
Привет! Я сейчас говорю по-русски. Кто думает что это впечатляет?

And here I am all proud that I can read it despite being unable to understand a word beyond ‘русски.’ XD
My first language is Romanian but I fully can’t read or write, lol. It’s because I’ve lived in Britain for my whole life (I was born here) and I just adapted to it. I’m learning Spanish in school, which is easier for me because I know Romanian and they are both latin based languages. But the thing is instead of speaking proper English, most of my vocabulary is slang and I need to stop before I do my speaking test in GCSE, lmao.

@dasha_author I have never been more proud of being able to read (phonetically but whatever) Russian. Although I only understood Привет and русски haha
And @feck.b I can help you with Spanish if you’d like, also, it’s amazing you know Romanian, I feel like that’s a language that needs more recognition.
