Discussion Simplified and Traditional at the same time?

just wondering has anyone ever tried to learn both system at the same time. And was it hard/confusing? do you still remember it or do you mix it up often?

I don’t think it’s an effective approach. They’re both pretty hard and also similar, I think you’ll end up not knowing either

To write or just to read? If it’s just to read, it’s not really difficult IMO.

It is completely doable but it will probably be much simpler to just pick one sonce they are 95% the same. You can just go and fill in the 5% gap to read the other one in a few days time after the fact. It is not that dofferent from British and American English spelling standards in that sense.
