That doesn't work because I tried it once. The meanings are all distorted and some characters aren't even ANYTHING when standing alone.

There's many more than five. But the main ones are all written in the same form, so if this paid job is purely written then there is no problem concerning dialect. Otherwise choose between Mandarin or Cantonese, because almost every Chinese person will understand at least one of these dialects.

He said that he wanted to move to Japan, so I asked him if he could speak Japanese, and he said yes, and I assumed that, being that he wanted to move to Japan, he would have to be able to speak it fluently.

Well mandarin and cantonese are written the same way (traditional/simplified are really similar) but other I'm not sure about other dialects. This job states "You must be able to speak Chinese/English fluently." ....so what about writing/reading,etc?

That was like...three years ago, dude. My ambitions have changed.

e: And three years ago my Japanese was workable, but now I'm limited to select phrases that have stuck in my head. So >:[ on you, Kai.

From what I have seen on videos at school....a lot of Japanese people speak English so it really wouldn't be that hard to just move and learn from talking to people.

I know quite a few people in real life who are Chinese (natives) who do speak the language and USED to play Graal. I'll inquire about their interest in the project later today.

Thats because they don't show you the videos of Japanese people speaking Japanese as you wouldn't understand it!
