Simplified or Traditional? That’s a question that often gets brought up when someone is learning how to write in one of the Chinese languages and within the Chinese community itself. There is a whole debate even regarding this, which I go over in this video.
This video felt somewhat rushed due to mainly the fact that I didn’t have much time to do enough research. I’d advise everyone to do more research on their own and take everything I’ve said in this video with a grain of salt.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE :D (this video was uploaded on December 25, 2022)
