   I wonder how difficult Korean is to learn compared with Japanese

     @augustus same level except the pronunciation which is very easy with japanese but pretty hard with korean

     @sigmasternchen @augustus hot take but kanji aren't that hard and they still help yu with korean because so much of the vocab is chinese compound words, like in japanese.

     @lain@lain.com @augustus@shitposter.club But for Korean there is only Hangul - you don't have to deal with Kanji.

     @augustus @sigmasternchen you'll be able to read the labels on food or general signs, but not the newspaper

     @sigmasternchen @lain I also wonder how easy Chinese is to read once you know a lot of the Kanji from Japanese. surely there's a lot of semantic crossover there.

     @sigmasternchen @augustus yeah, hangul is much easier of course

     @lain@lain.com @augustus@shitposter.club Hmm, not sure. Maybe that's just me but having an extra few thousand characters to learn, most of which have multiple readings that are context specific, sounds like a huge effort, compared to 40-something Hangul atoms.
