In a way, it's. It simply is dependent upon who's finding out it. Some individuals can select it up immediately, whilst others do not. Personally, I talk Cantonese, and I suggestion it was once quite handy to select it up. The pronunciation is rather an identical. Just the truth that in Cantonese has 6 tones wherein as Mandarin best has four. I'm guessing that every person else to your Mandarin elegance already is aware of the right way to learn characters so that's why they do not research as so much. Like all languages it simply takes time.

Actually, Cantonese, Hokkien, and other "dialects" of Chinese are not actually dialects of Chinese, because they are not mutually intelligible. So learning one of these would actually be learning a new language.
I don't really believe that any language is easier than any other, but it occurs to me that, if you are literate in Chinese, you could more easily learn the Japanese writing system.
