Hey everyone.
I have been learning Mandarin for some time now. I have also lived in China for some time. I think I am around (old) hsk 4 level.
I have waited with starting to learn Japanese till my Mandarin was at a somewhat higher level to not cause confusions.
Now that I have reached a higher level, I wanted to know whether I can start learning both languages at the same time or will it still cause lots of misunderstandings? The way I see it is that my Mandarin knowledge might actually help memorise the Kanji as they are similar to the simplified Mandarin characters.
Do you have any specific tips for my scenario? Thanks a lot!
