RE: Writing Chinese Like a Boss | To Write or Not to Write?
I couldn't agree more, I choose to learn reading, writing and speaking as it seemed the only option to learn properly. I've learnt so much more about the culture here by doing so and it makes my life here much much easier by doing so! Great post!
Same here... for me I couldn't learn one without the other.
Although I have met so many expats in China that can speak excellent Mandarin but can't read Chinese. They only knew pinyin. I couldn't figure out how they reached a fluent or nearly fluent speaking level without being able to recognize characters.
