I think that it is not so difficult to communicate with people in English but precise discription is not easy to master.Chinese is difficult to learn for the four diffrent tones.Anyway,no language is extremely easy.Oh maybe body language is more convenient.

English (and German and French) are much more precise than Chinese.

Body language?! ...too many people argue!(*)

"Body Talk" is an alternative method of healing, where the practitioner communicates with your body, using emotions often accompanied with words...

(*) I give private lessons to select young ladies on how to argue, using your body!
