Yes, but it was Hell of a language to learn for a Chinese speaker. Do you know Chinese don't have articles or tenses and you can squeeze an entire word like army (two sounds) into one Chinese character?

IMO European languages (whether Romance or Germanic) are hard to learn and have too many strange rules...
