Not correct.
Korean, Chinese and Japanese are completely different. Knowing one won't help with the other.
Chinese Mandarin and Chinese Cantonese are two completely different sounding dialects. But they share the same written language.
Here's a simplified Mandarin/Cantonese example:
If i walk into a restaurant in America and draw this symbol: :coffee: the waitress will know what I want.
If i walk into a restaurant in Brazil and draw this symbol: :coffee: the waitress will know what I want.
Although they both speak completely different languges, they both "read" the symbol as coffee.
