also hot take: US schools should teach 100–300 most common kanji (their meanings and pronunciations in Mandarin) if nothing else to dispel the myth that logograms are "too hard to learn" for English speakers

    I'd love to split off a timeline where we just teach the basics of as many languages and scripts to kids as possible, it'd be a great experiment

    If it's Mandarin, they're hanzi, kanji is specifically Japanese 😝

    In 3 months, you could learn 300 at 5 per school day. That's not even too crazy.
