    I have to agree. People like to say English is difficult because there are a million loan words and spelling/grammar have no hard and fast rules, but character based languages are on a different level of difficulty. Even if it shifted to something like pinyin for text, the subtle tone shifting and having tons of a homophones are a huge barrier to entry.
