I am Chinese myself. But I never learned how to read & write Chinese because I never went to Chinese school (I live in an English speaking country). I speak rudimentary Cantonese (but my parents also speak fluent Hakkanese and a bit of Mandarin).
I’d like to learn how to at least read and write Chinese.. since it’d be something useful.
So are Chinese characters the same regardless of whether you speak Cantonese, Mandarin, Hakkanese, etc?
