It's the stupidest, most incomprehensible language in the world. Despite the writing system having a character for every word and there being over fifty-million dialects, it sounds like if someone were to mutilate an person's vocal chords and have them recite the U.S. national Anthem.
If you think English overuses it's Ch's and Sh's, wait till you hear Chinese-- "Ni de sheng shi kuai le" is how one would say "Happy Birthday"...
Ha ha, except there are thousands of Chinese dialects and at least 2 major kinds of "Chinese" which are Mandarin and Cantonese, so which one you think is the worst? I think Cantonese sounds more harsh than Mandarin.

Chinese language sounds like a baby trying speak but still can't so whatever language comes out in the baby's mouth that sounds like Chinese language
I went to a Chinese dance producation the other day, and there was a Mandarin translator. It was bearable, but a huge issue with the Chinese language is that it's really not something that can be translated into English. It's more funny than anything, and I was trying not to laugh at the translation screen the whole time.

No offense, but Mandarin is the worst language in the world. It is a language which a lot of Chinese speak so harshly and so communist.
By the way, don't listen to Kenneth's comment, Cantonese is the best language to learn.
You got to remember all the letters and there are no shortcuts! How to write them is like torture. Not saying it is bad but it is just hard to understand unlike Spanish which we can guess some words.

Oh my god! It's not a language, it's a real IQ programm for our memory! Can you imagine how many hieroglyph you are suppose to memorize to speak?! More than 9000! It's terrible
Korean? Okay. Japanese? Okay? Bahasa? Okay. But Chinese & Vietnamese! 3 years of my life listening all day everyday at school. I don't miss it. Yoo-mo-gwai-di-fi-di-sao!
Well, actually chinese isn't only cantonese and mandarin. Whatever, every kind of chinese sounds difficult to understand, even the easiest mandarin.
Seriously whenever a group of people started jabbering away in Chinese anyway near me, I get the hell away from there or I'll probably have to get my ears fixed
China's lame! So is chinese! Who wants to talk in high pitch tone acting all jackie chan!
Just plain stupid. It makes no sense. I think it wasn't even ment to be made.
It annoys me so much, and I think that we can all agree on that one
