What I meant was that Chinese has the same general structure as English. And there are minimal rules concerning the age/gender of the person you are speaking to/about when choosing which words to use.
It is just like Korean in that aspect. I ditched both languages to learn Chinese because their structure is more closely aligned with English than the other two.
I have at least begun learning 12 languages throughout my life. Right now, I am concentrating on passing the HSK4 test (Mandarin Chinese), and becoming conversational in Russian.
