HOW to learn CHINESE - Can everyone really learn Chinese?

Dhananjay is a polyglot who has learned many languages, one of them being Chinese. Since I have a bit of mindset issues about my capacity or ability to learn Japanese, I thought it would be interesting to hear about his experience with Chinese and to see what he has to say about my fears and mindset issues. Here is an overview to navigate the different topics we discussed: 00:00 - Why this topic is important 01:41 - Dedicating insane amount of times to a language at the beginning to get a jump start 03:37 - Did he learn so fast because he was so young? 04:23 - What about reading and writting in Chinese? 06:33 - What are the most difficult parts of Chinese? Are there any easy aspects of Chinese? 09:24 - Can everyone learn Chinese?
