I have been learning Chinese for a few years now :-) I was sick of translating e-mails and documents and not being in on the "inside office humor and wechats". Plus learning Chinese is a stress release for me as I spend time practicing writing with a pen and paper.

I can agree that learning Chinese is a stress release. Just learning the characters by itself is very calming and stress-relieving.

Also, all that Chinese Internet humor is a reward :-D
