We've had this discussion before, and the general consensus is that Korean is the hardest. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Raincrowlee is quite correct. This topic has not only been beat to death, it has been stuffed, mounted, and hung over fireplace. Try the search function, it is your friend. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Already did. Didn't find anything resembling a consensus on the issue. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Just a summary, then. Korean grammar and Japanese grammar are similar, but Korean's is harder. Korean is harder to pronounce than the other two. Chinese is regarded as the hardest to read (no syllabary like Japanese and no alphabet like Korean.)

Try harder. Or restart the debate, if you think you have something to add. Edited by Raincrowlee on 11 February 2010 at 4:02am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Orion and Raincrowlee are quite right. Long-term posters here have seen the topic come up over and over, and
consensus usually crowns Korean the victor. Our esteemed Dr. Arguelles, who has dedicated his life to languages and speaks some 25, considers Korean to be the hardest he's learned (though to be fair, his Mandarin was at a low level last time he mentioned it, and he doesn't know Japanese). Neither this site's search function nor Google are particularly good at finding relevant threads, but here are a few. http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=10&PN=0&TPN=1 http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=15695&PN=9 http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=9860&PN=30&TPN=2 There is one acceptable way of showing Korean isn't that hard. That's to learn it yourself and then show us how you did it. :) 4 persons have voted this message useful |
