AFAIK, if you’re targeting mainland China and don’t need to read anything historic, simplified should be enough. Anywhere else, you would need to learn them. I quite like this YouTuber for various linguistic stuff on Chinese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8EFhnMaVRk
Oh yeah, definitely, although I’m more concerned about committing them to memory, since the simplified characters lose some meaning and you’re expected to make up for it. I guess I’ve forgotten the meaning of simple kanji like 免 one too many times. Thanks for the link, though! I’ll check it out.
I’m so tempted to, tbh. I wonder how hard it’d be to go from joyou Kanji to hanzi.
I can read probably 1000ish kanji (maybe more), and some are super easy. Others are less so 漢 -> 汉 is … what?
I have a feeling I’ll have to learn traditional and simplified at the same time and that feels a bit daunting. 😅
