A friend of mine, whose husband is Chinese, didn't find it fun. She
told me her in-law used her inability to grasp it all as yet another >metaphorical stick to beat her with.

If one is brought up with it, it may be useful.
A Spaniard who met most of her English boy-friend's family at a
large event on her first vist to England said that having people
introduced as "my cousin <name>" was much easier in a culture where
surnames were <father's 1st surname> <mother's 1st surname> - in Spain
one usually unconsciously absorbed whether the cousin was likely to
be a child of a paternal aunt, paternal uncle, maternal aunt, maternal
uncle, or an in-law, and therefore understood how they related to each
other as well as to the person introducuing them.
