Sorry, I wrote it in kanji because I thought you were still studying Japanese. (the character is ore)

Why did you decide on switching to learning Mandarin?

Availability of native speakers local to me, and the fact I was initially attracted to Japanese by the characters and ended up essentially studying Chinese when researching their history. I may return to Japanese later, there's certainly plenty of study materials.
