It might be longer. The Japanese and Chinese writings are very similar' date=' and to fully master the Chinese language, it take about 26 years.[/quote'] 3 years before I could start making sense of what they said in anime...I'd say 5-7 before you're considered "fluent"Writing/reading is a different story though.

ragnarok1945 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 well when I said mastering the language, that means both reading it AND writing it. Obviously if you talk only reading a few years will do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok fine, then let's just say to master most of it (since the language is constantly altering the rules and such so you'd never succeed in your lifetime to fully master it anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
