if you learn 600 chinese characters, you can read 90% of chinese text 

it’s not that hard!

I feel like reading 90% of Chinese text is still going to leave some pretty big gaps 😅

I'm at maybe 100 characters and I still get really excited when I recognize a character in the wild.

Ah yes, person, mouth, stabby thing??? 😆
(I love how mouth and door are the same character)

It's been 8 years or so since I was in a majority Chinese speaking country, so I don't see those signs super often. Lots of Chinese businesses in my area though, and my kid goes to a Chinese immersion school.

haha i’m sure you see 人 口 出 etc everywhere
