        That’s what I was thinking. Probably not that small, but not a lot it’s a notoriously hard language to learn. You have to be pretty stupid or nieve to think you’re learning it on Duolingo.

      My niece is one of tiktok’s victims and she is as young and lazy to even construct herself a sandwich. Nevermind learning a language as confusing and backwards as mandarin or Cantonese.
