Yup, Kanji and Chinese characters are exactly the same, I have many friends that know chinese who see Japanese and can understand some of it.
中国語 means Chinese in Japanese xD
I think Japanese use the same Charactors as Chinese right?
这样说你们也知道中国话?因为我知道英文和中文. 可是我的中文不是很好。

  • Tamil
    • 1st Language
  • Telugu
    • 1st Language
  • English
    • 2nd Language
  • Spanish
    • barely, 4 years of classes, can't speak at all
  • Japanese
    • Speak just as well as my Indian Languages
    • 中一から高一まで、毎日日本語分かるまでばかみたいにアニメみました。
      • From 7th grade till 11th grade, I watched anime like an idiot every day until I understood it.
Also... this just seems like a very random and off topic thread now.

This has just become language talk, I'ma move this to off topic.

Wait are you saying Japanese has the same characters as Korean? Cuz I'm pretty sure that's not true, I've been doing Tae Kwon Do for years now and in no way have I seen a similarity in Korean and Japanese characters, I have noticed similar words though.

Ok yes they are different from each other, but not completely.
Japanese Kanji is Chinese characters.
In japan there are 2 pronunciations for Kanji, Kun and On, kun is the Japanese Pronunciation of these characters, and On is the Chinese one. Both are used in japan.
So the spoken language might be quite different, but the writing has it's similarities.

I don't know much about Korean, but:
Korean and Japanese do have a few similar words, whereas I'm pretty sure the writing systems are different.

I'm probably missing some important info somewhere, but most of that should be right.
