Learning Chinese.

Sup y'all.

I want to learn Chinese (mandarin). However, I don't just want to learn simplified (simplified sucks ass). I'm looking for some good sources for learning traditional and simplified characters. I don't care if I have to buy it or not, I just want the best that's out there right now.

>>But even if you think traditional look cooler, learn simplified first, unless you have an actual reason for learning traditional.

I'd say this is bad advice.

If anything, I would learn both at once. Why? Because simplified characters are simplified to the point of not making any sense when it comes to 部首 and 音符. If you learn traditional, you can easily learn the simplified version. The other way around is much, much harder.
