No, it really is. I have come to the conclusion that Chinese characters aren't just difficult for English speakers to learn. They're difficult to learn on an ABSOLUTE SCALE. For lovers of Chinese though, this doesn't have to change anything. We can still admire the beauty in Chinese characters while recognizing that it's truly an inefficient and illogical system of writing... or I may be wrong.

说实话。我发现汉字不仅仅对外国人非常难而是绝对的难。不过对于中文语言爱好者这种事实也不必改变我们对中文的态度。在欣赏汉字之美的同时我们也可以认同中文文字是一个低效率和缺逻辑的文字系统。。。要不然我的观点或许有错误。

Check out this video for the opposite argument!

NOTE: I also forgot to mention in the video, but another argument for why alphabetic writing is superior is that ALL computer languages are alphabetical. I'm not a coder, but from what I understand, Chinese coders tend to code in English because Chinese writing and computer languages are incompatible.

编注视频里面忘记提到另一个支持字母文字的论点就是所有电脑语言都以字母为主。我个人不会编程但是依我所理解由于兼容的问题中文母语的程序员经常使用英语编程。
