I've been learning Chinese for quite some time now, and will probably keep at it these coming years as it'll be a necessity in my life, but I'd lie if I'm not constantly attracted by Japanese. I'm just afraid of picking up another life-long project, and having to balance learning Japanese with keeping up my Chinese. Has anyone learnt Japanese after Chinese? What has been your experience? Did knowing hanzi help with learning kanji?

They are way more Chinese words (at least 4X) than kanji. Of course, it will help you to read kanji since kanji are from Chinese words. It is fascinating to see how closely related they are.

You can try to learn a language well or learn two languages not so well.
