To everyone: we are really agreed in most parts. the only point that I don't agree and thus the reason I am debating against you guys is the idea of "pinyin (or other phonetic and/or letter based system) will substitute charecters in long run" argument. And in fact this details are far from being relevant for the original question.

I agree entirely with you Qihqi that pinyin or another phonetic system will not substitute for characters.
Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll start her on Mandarin, only because I'll know what her lessons are about. With Cantonese, I'd be lost.
