Actually, I'd say that Chinese Hanzi is easier than Japanese Kanji, because almost every Kanji has a least two readings, many being multisyllabic, while most Hanzi has one pronunciation, and every single Hanzi is only one syllable long.

That's certainly a complexity I didn't mention haha, but yeah, Kanji (along with most vocab) have Chinese and Japanese pronouciations, and it gets even more complicated trying to figure out which ones are appropriate for conversation. Man it's been a few years since I've thought much about Japanese, this thread is bringing back the nightmare a bit haha

Well, the most effective way to me seems to be by learning by the word, instead of by the Kanji.
