BTW learning Chinese & Kanji will be your fun & learning experience, 'cause Chinese language has no alphabet, it was derived from pictograms (象形) which is so cool especially for a person who likes art. Many of Kanji are similar to Chinese,'cause Some kanji were introduced from different parts of China at different times(quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji)
