We will consider Japan and South Korea. North Korea will not suit you. Actually, the first drawback can be seen right away: these are all American possessions, where Russians are not liked very much, because the world will not soon forget the consequences of the Cold War. Now more specific.
Japan: advantages
* Very interesting culture. Fans of the metal genre will be especially surprised: local bands play power metal.
* Quality is everywhere. Everything that surrounds people in that country is done with high quality. Literally everything. Otherwise it’s simply not profitable.
* The language is very easy. At school I was really bombarded with the Russian language: declensions/conjugations, gender, cases, plurals, perfect/imperfect. This is not the case in Japanese.
* Lowest crime rate in the world.
Flaws
* The simplicity of the language is compensated by its strong context dependence. There have been cases when a person, when saying “yes,” meant “no.”
* It is easy to find work only for a doctor and a musician. In the case of doctors, this is a population whose age in 3/4 of cases is over 60 years. In the case of musicians, copyright, which is protected especially strictly in Japan. In other professions, you need to have either 20 years of work experience (although sometimes 10 is enough), or a recommendation from a serious company, or very unconventional ideas.
* And yes, you cannot hire a foreign worker there for a salary lower than the national average.
* Be prepared to die on the job. .
* The Gini coefficient is approximately the same as in Russia.
* Forget the phrase “Japanese citizenship” too. You can only get it if at least one of your parents was born there. In other cases, a residence permit is issued. Temporary.
* People are very complex. A very large number of psychological terms in Japanese (). They are also terrible xenophobes: they will make anyone a xenophobe. They are also terrible conformists, this explains the fantastically low crime rate: the slightest offense spoils the entire result of work, and Asians are very hard workers.
South Korea. An exact copy of the USA, which is not surprising if . But nevertheless: advantages.
* I’m not very familiar with the language, but it doesn’t look very complicated.
* Finding a job is not easy, but it is easier than in Japan.
* You never even dreamed of such salaries.
* Very good Gini coefficient and human development coefficient.
* People are very kind and friendly. While studying at the university I had to communicate, but now on Twitter.
Flaws:
* The culture by our standards is very rotten. Watching TV in that country for residents of the post-Soviet space can end in tears of blood.
* The friendliness of people is explained by hypocrisy and commercialism. Surely this is true everywhere. But this is especially noticeable among South Koreans. Or are you thinking about how to achieve fantastically high salaries in a country where there is only Samsung, Hyundai and Doshirak?
* First place in the world in terms of average number of suicides ().
In fact, it would take hundreds of printed pages to describe the advantages and disadvantages. But conclusions can be drawn now. If you are just a good specialist - Korea. If you are a true genius in your field and because of your work you don’t even see your own bed - Japan.
Japanese? Easy?
Only oral, and even that - with all these morphemes, levels of politeness, the existence of different pronunciations of the same concepts (a legacy of Chinese influence) and much more makes Japanese a very difficult language. And I’m not talking about writing.
Korean, by the way, is much simpler. Plus: instead of hieroglyphs - a simple and convenient alphabet. And in oral terms, even Chinese is easier.
Answer
"Samsung, Hyundai and Doshirak"... for starters, this is not enough, Samsung is a huge concern, with a decent share of high-tech production, these are not just smartphones, TV sets, but modern Electronics, with a capital letter, while Hyundai is only one of the automakers working on export, but there are more similar companies; make an effort, google the features of local cuisine, as a good indicator - school lunches, and remember what you yourself ate at school, and you may understand that the agricultural complex there is clearly in order - for starters, and then at least remember that South Caucasus is one of the world's shipbuilding giants, and this is without oil, gas and a plethora of other minerals, and, of course, it is obvious that this could not have happened without the impact of US assistance, but still.
"the culture by our standards is very rotten"- enlighten me, I only know about sugary romantic and comedy series (not to say that they are rotten), about “puppet” K-pop groups and, for me as a cinephile and for the world, YUK is known for Kim Ki-duk and Phan Chan-wook , a short list of high-quality realistic thrillers by other film directors - please clarify what kind of foulbrood and what cultural standards of the Russian Federation are we talking about? Pugacheva, Kirkorov, Yolki, Dom2, “let's get married” - no, I can name a few worthwhile post-Soviet films, a few? performers, worthwhile music, in my opinion, but where is all this on the screens of at least our zombie box??
Answer
CommentIt depends on what for.
If there are no specific goals, business, marriage, etc., and the desire to learn a language lies in the plane of “to be”, “beautiful”, “original”, “funny”, “exotic”, then it is better to study Japanese. Rich interesting culture, poetry, painting, calligraphy, etc. there is a lot of material that is not difficult to find and which will be a beautiful addition to the language.
But if you have a desire to go to the country whose language you are studying, then choose Korean. It’s easier to get and live there (in Japan there’s a problem with this; even if you get married, after a divorce you lose the right to be in the country, as far as I know). I know one girl, from Tatarstan, she went to travel, Turkey, Britain, Thailand, now lives for six months in Korea, works in a restaurant, greets guests and shows them to a table, learned Turkish, English in a few years, now speaks Korean quite passably ( her native languages are Tatar and Russian). Korea is a country with an equally rich culture, but for ordinary citizens it is not as well known as Japan, and it has not been much popularized.
To all of the above, we can add the following scenario: what if you don’t leave your country?
In this case, ( learning the language professionally, and not as a form of entertainment) it would be advisable to choose an additional specialty, unless you plan to seriously study linguistics.
In this case, the choice depends largely according to your preferences. Employment using Korean and Japanese languages (in Moscow, I can’t say about other cities) is subject to the same factors as with most other professions. Job There is . For both languages. But there is also competition. The main areas in which I saw people actually working: business (dada! Here you can work not only with the Chinese language!), culture, television, linguistics and translation studies, event management, marketing, teaching. For the most part, this is working with representatives of that country or in branches of their companies. Success will depend largely not on the choice of language, but on your degree of competence, business acumen and resourcefulness. (Here I am based on numerous questions on this topic from teachers of the School of Oriental Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics).
About languages:
Japanese - Here I disagree with the author of the first answer. This is not a simple language. Damn interesting and exciting, but not at all simple. Japanese is oversaturated with vocabulary even compared to the Russian language (not to mention the European languages), a huge number of homophones, an unusual structure of thought at first, not to mention the fact that Japanese has three types of writing. But very interesting :)
Korean - the writing here is much simpler, now in Korea they use phonemic writing, but this means that having learned the “alphabet”, you will not be able (if you want) to read the originals of many historical texts - they are written in hieroglyphs. And the grammar is quite comparable in complexity to Japanese and even overlaps with it in some places.
Regarding politics:
I can’t point out any negative impacts on employment here - I have rather scanty information, and even then only positive. But it can affect learning. For example, this year our university entered into agreements with several South Korean universities, according to which all the roots of our stream will go to free 3-month training in Seoul and other cities. Japanese students don’t even dream about this; for them, all internships abroad are paid, and very expensive. As we know, Russia and the South. Relations with Korea are closer than with Japan, so a parallel can be drawn.
I don't want to write a conclusion. And so everything seems clear.
Studying Chinese, Japanese and Korean today is becoming increasingly popular: many mothers, in addition to the almost obligatory English, take their child to a teacher of one of the oriental languages. Anna DULINA, a teacher at the Institute of Asian and African Countries at Moscow State University, a candidate of historical sciences, a graduate of Novosibirsk State University, and a translator, told us about the advantages and prospects of this idea.
- Anna, how can learning oriental languages be useful for a child?
Firstly, they develop the brain very well: in addition to the fact that the child learns grammar, listens, reads and talks, he also writes complex graphic structures - hieroglyphs, that is, fine motor skills are involved. Secondly, oriental languages perfectly stimulate memory, no worse than solving complex mathematical equations.
If a child decides to take an oriental language seriously, what are the prospects? Nowadays Chinese seems to be in great demand...
” - As for prospects for further study and work, the Chinese language, of course, has no competition. Knowing Chinese makes it easier to find a job: more people, more contracts. However, this year Russia and Japan also concluded many agreements on cooperation - primarily economic, but also cultural. 2018 will be declared the year of cultural exchanges between Russia and Japan.
There are many joint long-term projects, and they are developing. For example, the project to build a bridge between Sakhalin and Hokkaido is currently being discussed. Working with the Japanese is easier, they pay more attention to fulfilling obligations, punctuality and reliability are in their blood. There is one minus, but a significant one: Japan is an expensive country, and not every company can cooperate with the Japanese. The Chinese have everything cheaper, but the quality sometimes lets you down.
That is, if a child becomes interested in the Japanese language and dreams of an internship or courses, parents need to prepare for serious expenses?
Yes, but it will be easier for diligent students. For example, there is an annual competition for schoolchildren studying Japanese. It is called Speech-contest and is held in Moscow; children from all over Russia can participate. The conditions are very simple: the child must present an interesting story in Japanese, then the jury members will ask him a couple of questions. The winner receives the main prize - a trip to Japan. Novosibirsk schoolchildren often win the competition; their Moscow peers have already heard that there are strong competitors in Siberia. By the way, our tradition of studying oriental languages is in no way inferior to that of the capital. The Faculty of Oriental Studies of the Faculty of Humanities of NSU has excellent teachers, they really invest in students.
- What are the main difficulties a child will encounter when starting to learn an oriental language?
I would highlight several aspects.
- Chinese and Korean are tonal languages, and stress and pitch in them have a distinctive function. For example, "ma" pronounced with different intonation in Chinese will mean "mother", "horse" or "hemp".
- There is no “r” sound in Chinese and no “l” sound in Japanese, which confuses some children.
- In Japanese sentences, the predicate always comes at the end. Without listening to the end of the phrase, we will not know its meaning. That is why there is no such thing as simultaneous translation from Japanese: it will be fast, accelerated, but consistent. Schoolchildren who are just starting to learn a language try to translate a sentence from the beginning, but they first need to look at the end and determine the ending of the verb. The Japanese sentence looks like a thread with beads strung together.
” - However, in general I think the complexity of Eastern languages is exaggerated. The grammatical structures are quite simple and are well remembered by the child; there is no branched verbal system, characteristic, for example, of Romance languages. It is not so difficult to understand the Japanese, the Chinese, and the Koreans in everyday life; they speak in short sentences. Those who begin to study an oriental language usually quickly achieve their first and such important successes, this stimulates them to new achievements.
- The main difficulties are associated with memorizing a large number of hieroglyphs. In this sense, the Japanese language is easier to cope with, because the Japanese also have a syllabary alphabet. When I went to my first internship in Japan, I was lazy and almost didn’t write in hieroglyphs. Teachers turned a blind eye to this: for children and foreigners, the use of the alphabet is considered acceptable. Everything changed in the master's program, when I had to take hieroglyphs seriously, otherwise there was nothing to even dream of getting high scores for exams. It is very difficult in Japan without knowledge of the hieroglyphic system: signs, street signs, store names, books, magazines - all these are hieroglyphs. The alphabet is used only in literature adapted for children, and all more or less serious publications are written in hieroglyphs. Explanations are given only when particularly rare or complex hieroglyphs are used, so that the reader does not have to look into the dictionary again. I would recommend paying special attention to them if the child is determined to learn the language. The Japanese value hieroglyphs very much. The country holds competitions to test their knowledge, which give nothing but a sense of moral satisfaction, but participation is considered honorable. Many Japanese practice writing hieroglyphs in their free time. Today, few people write by hand; you remember the basic set of hieroglyphs, but complex ones are quickly forgotten. By the way, I am often asked how the Japanese work with English keyboards and whether they have their own special one. Yes, Japanese keyboards exist, but mostly they use a regular one. There is a special computer program that converts words written in Latin into hieroglyphs or alphabet.
- Will knowing Japanese help you later learn Chinese or Korean and vice versa?
Korean and Japanese are a little similar, including in sound, so it will be easier. Chinese after Japanese and vice versa go with a bang, since the characters in Japanese are borrowed from Chinese. There should be no problems with reading texts even at the initial stage of learning.
- At what age is it better to start learning an oriental language and how to choose a teacher?
I started learning Japanese in second grade. I think it could be a little earlier. There is no need to try too hard right away; once or twice a week is enough. As for choosing a teacher, his credentials are not so important. Talk to parents of children who have been studying for a long time: is it interesting, does the teacher explain it clearly.
Going to a tutor is not entirely the right choice; it is better to find a language school with a children's group, so that the teachers focus on gaming aspects when teaching. The ideal option is a cultural center. Origami, cartoons, fairy tales, communication with native speakers, correspondence with peers are more important than it seems.
” - Language reflects mentality, and the Eastern mentality is not an easy thing, as a Japanese specialist I can say this. Without knowledge of behavior and etiquette, a child will face difficulties. For example, the Japanese are very fond of understatement and allegory. Of course, the words “yes” and “no” are in the language, but most often the question posed will not be answered directly. A person can study a language successfully for a long time, and then come to Japan and discover that he understands almost nothing.
Another problem is that there are several levels of politeness that can easily get confusing. A competent teacher will explain to the child how to behave in Japanese society, which phrases should be used often, and which, on the contrary, should be avoided.
- What can a child gain from contact with Eastern culture, for example, Japanese?
Firstly, it fosters respect for other people and restraint in expressing emotions: the Japanese pay great attention to discipline, rash statements are excluded. Secondly, respect for nature. Thirdly, patience. This is one of the main features of national character. There is a lot of ceremony in Japanese culture: the well-known tea ceremony, religious rituals, and so on. Calligraphy and martial arts require slowness. Nothing should be done in a hurry; smoothness and gradualness are valued. Fourthly, punctuality is known throughout the world. Fifthly, the accuracy and ergonomics of the Japanese. They have long lived in difficult conditions: the islands are very small in area, and the areas free from mountains and suitable for growing rice are even smaller. Hence the desire to save space and maintain cleanliness - there is a lot to learn from the Japanese here.
Interviewed by Maria Tiliszewska
In our group
There is no absolutely difficult language compared to all others. After all, children have no problem learning their native language, whatever it may be. However, adults who speak one or more languages find it easier to speak a language that is closer in relation to their native language. For example, for a Russian speaker, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Czech, Croatian will be the least difficult.
In terms of writing, Chinese and Japanese are difficult languages to learn even for native speakers.
Every language is a challenge in terms of pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, spelling, etc. The more similar these problems are to those you solved when you were learning your native language, the less difficult it will be language to learn.
An interesting study was done by the Institute for the Protection of Languages in Monterey, California. All foreign languages taught here were divided into groups according to degree of difficulty. There were four groups: from “ himself lung" to " the most difficult» depending on how many hours of teaching students (mostly English-speaking) need to be devoted to in order for them to reach a certain level.
Below is the comparison: 1 = least complex, 4 = the most difficult.
- Afrikaans, Danish, Dutch, French, Haitian Creole, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish.
- Bulgarian, Dari, Farsi (Persian), German, Modern Greek, Hindi-Urdu, Indonesian, Malay
- Amharic, Bengali, Burmese, Czech, Finnish, Modern Hebrew, Hungarian, Khmer (Cambodian), Lao, Nepali, Pilipino (Tagalog), Polish, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Sinhalese, Thai, Tamil, Turkish, Vietnamese.
- Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean
Chinese is harder to learn than English – officially proven
According to recent scientific research, it has been found that the human brain processes information differently depending on the language. The study looked at the brain activity of native English speakers and native Chinese speakers while they listened to speech in their native language. It was found that the Chinese use both hemispheres, while the British use only the left. Conclusion: understand and speak Chinese more difficult than in English.
Which language is more difficult to learn, Chinese or Japanese?
I would like to immediately note that we are talking about the Mandarin dialect of the Chinese language. Other dialects of the Chinese language have similar features, although they differ in pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.
Learning to read and write in Japanese is possible and more difficult than in Chinese, because most Japanese characters (Kanji) have two or more pronunciations, while the vast majority of Chinese characters (Hanzi) have only one pronunciation. Also keep in mind that Japanese has two syllabaries (hiragana and katakana). On the other hand, some Japanese words and endings are easier to read than Chinese ones, since in the first case they are written phonetically using hiragana and katakana, while all Chinese words are written using Hanzi. If you don't know how to read Hanzi, you can only guess based on what you know.
The word order in Chinese is more or less close to the word order in English or other European languages, while the word order in Japanese is similar to Korean, Mongolian and Turkic languages. Therefore, for a native English speaker, Chinese is easier in this regard than Japanese.
Chinese grammar is considered easier to learn than Japanese. Chinese is an even more isolated language than English, lacking verb conjugation, cases, and grammatical gender. Moreover, the use of the plural in Chinese is limited and selective. Japanese is an agglutinative language and has many different endings for verbs, nouns and adjectives.
Japanese pronunciation is perhaps easier than Chinese. Japanese has a small number of sounds and no tones. However, Japanese words have different intonation contours that need to be learned in order to be understood. Although only a few Japanese words differ in intonation, so if you pronounce it incorrectly, you will most likely be understood. Chinese has a large range of sounds, and each syllable has its own tone. Incorrect use of tone can affect meaning. Most Chinese dialects have even more tones - 6 or 7 in Cantonese and 8 in Taiwanese, for example.
How long does it take to learn a language?
It all depends on what level you want to achieve and how much time you are willing to devote to studying. Some manage to acquire practical knowledge in a few months or even weeks, while others struggle for years without getting any noticeable results.
If you use the methods described on our website, you will be able to master basic language skills in a period of several weeks to several months; 6-12 months are needed to learn to understand and participate in everyday conversation, and in 10 years you can learn to speak, understand, read and write fluently, at the level of a native speaker.
If you live in a country or area where a foreign language is spoken, you will be able to achieve success faster, especially if the locals do not know your language.
What is the most common language?
Below is a list of languages with the largest number of native speakers. If you choose one of them, you will have someone to talk to!
These are approximate figures showing the total number of native speakers, including those for whom these languages are a second language after their mother tongue. But this does not include the number of people who study these languages as a foreign language.
How difficult is Chinese?
Difficult:
- In Chinese almost no words common to European languages, so a Chinese student has to study a lot (in European languages we can find many common words). But even though some Chinese words share common roots with a number of Asian languages (especially Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese), they are difficult to recognize.
- Writing system It’s quite difficult to learn, although in theory there’s nothing complicated about it: you just need to memorize a lot.
- Chinese language – tone, i.e., various syntagmas in speech not only add an emotional connotation, as, for example, in English; they serve to distinguish the meaning of words. How difficult it is depends on the student himself: students with good hearing can easily learn this.
Easily:
- Unlike many European languages, Chinese no irregular verbs or plural nouns, which have to be memorized, since the word has only one single form, without suffixes to denote time, number, case, etc. (there are a number of particles that serve to denote time, but they are unchanged and do not depend on those words , which they join.)
- The Chinese are always tolerant refer to the mistakes of foreigners - perhaps due to the fact that for many Chinese themselves the generally accepted state language is a second language.
From year to year, knowledge of oriental languages is becoming more and more in demand, many people sign up for courses every month. Chinese can be called the most popular language, Korean and Japanese are slightly behind it. Many people who want to join Eastern culture are faced with the question: which of the three languages to choose?
If you...
... have nothing against metal chopsticks, easily put up with the lack of pillowcases and duvet covers, love spicy food, ultra-modern transport and unusual clothes, your choice is courses Korean language. In addition, you will have to take off your shoes at the doorstep of the house (not a centimeter beyond the outlined zone!), eat rice at every meal, go hiking and not smile in vain on the streets.
...tolerate the dirt on the streets, widespread smoking and noise, admire the ancient culture, are delighted with tea ceremonies and respect for elders - this course is for you Chinese language. In addition, you will see an incredible love for children, a free attitude towards punctuality and an ineradicable desire to deceive your partner at least a little in trading operations.
... value sophistication and silence, are ready to respect other people's traditions, even if strange, are a fan of raw fish, courses will be ideal for you Japanese language. Ikebana, origami, geisha art, haiku tercet, anime and manga, kabuki theater - you will learn all this by getting to know the culture of Japan better. Do not think that these are some complex matters - basic knowledge about, for example, calligraphy will be given to you by courses.
Chinese language: reasons for popularity
As mentioned above, Korean language courses attract far fewer applicants than Chinese courses. This is due to the fact that the Chinese language is much more widespread in the world, and even its complexity for the European mind does not deter determined listeners. In addition, business with China is very developed today, and the main purpose of training is usually work necessity.
On the other hand, there are much fewer specialists in Japan and Korea, so there will be little competition in the profession. Russia has stable ties with both of these countries. If you live in the Far East, then you will find a good job in any case - if, of course, you become a successful specialist in your field based on your studies.
When choosing an Eastern language to study, listen to your feelings: do you like the speech, writing, culture of the country; whether you can devote enough time to studying; How did you cope with pronunciation in other languages? Evaluate all aspects, and the right decision will appear in your head!
Good day everyone!
I noticed that many people who want to connect their lives with the East think, “Which language should I choose: Chinese, Korean or Japanese?” I didn’t really have any doubts in this regard, because I made decisions based on logic. This article will be most useful for people who want to study an Eastern language directly in the country.
To begin with, I would like to invite you to watch this short video that will dot the I’s:
Are you surprised that Russian is not the most difficult language? I don't. I have met people who studied “the great and mighty” for 1 year, and they spoke very well. Of course, there were mistakes, but they did not interfere with understanding.
However, as a person who is gradually devoting his time to 2 countries, I can talk about my impressions in learning 2 languages and explain why I find one language easier than the other.
What's easier?
In my opinion, Chinese is easier than Korean. Yes, in the first case there is a system of tones and thousands of hieroglyphs that need to be memorized. Some of you may say that there are 80,000-90,000 thousand characters in the Chinese language. Yes, that's true, I don't argue. But the question is not how many hieroglyphs exist, but how many you need to know. When I talked to the Chinese, they said that if you know 5000 hieroglyphs, then this will be more than enough for life and work.
Is it difficult to learn hieroglyphs? Yes, it's difficult. When I was in my first semester, I was literally dying from spelling and memorizing. Everything was complicated by the fact that we did not teach the so-called “keys”. There’s a hieroglyph for “disease,” and that’s how you remember it. I usually try to come up with analogies, draw a picture, or just practice it. After the first 500-700 hieroglyphs, memorization somehow becomes easier, I don’t know why, but it is.
Key
Yes, tonality is a difficult and very capricious thing, but as the Chinese and Russian-speaking students explained to me, tones can be ignored, but they will interfere with understanding for the Chinese. It will look as if you came as an illegal worker. They will understand, but will not take you seriously.
However, you can also get used to it, especially if you are leaving for China for a long time. At least I really hope so, since I’m going to go to China as an exchange student for a year.
Sometimes I hear the question, are these 2 languages similar to each other? I can’t give a definite answer, because some words really sound similar to each other. For example, “university” is 대학교 and 大学 (daxue). It doesn't sound the same to me, but in general terms it's very similar.
Why is Korean more difficult?
The above video told the truth when the conversation turned to syntax. For example, you read a sentence, but it takes up as many as 4 lines. And you won’t immediately understand where to start translating and in what sequence. I myself am now slowly trying to translate the book “사람을 읽는 130가지 기술”.
I won’t say that I suffer wildly when translating it, but I have to think a lot. This is despite the fact that the book itself is written in an interesting way, and it is not stuffed with scientific terms.
In addition to syntax, the author indicated knowledge of hieroglyphs. 90% of people will say that it is not necessary to know hieroglyphs. I don't quite agree. Knowledge of hieroglyphs will help you when you are too lazy to look in the dictionary. Let’s say you saw the word “혈압”, but you’re just too lazy to go look up the meaning in the dictionary, but you know a little hieroglyphs. You begin to parse the word syllable by syllable and you get “혈” and “압”.
혈 is blood
압 – press, press, press.
So it turns out that 혈압 is blood pressure.
Do you think we should also study hieroglyphics?
What to do?
Personally, I am very pleased that I decided to study the Korean peninsula first, and only then Chinese. I also know someone who is studying Japanese in Korea, and he doesn't complain about his studies. Everything suits him, because as far as I understand, Japanese and Korean are very similar in grammatical terms.
Take any second language you like and study in Korea. Later, you can go directly to China as an exchange student if you are accepted into a department associated with that country.
There is only one thing that only puzzles me. What motivates people who choose the Department of English Language and Literature? That is, they will graduate from university and have a good command of Korean and English. What next? You won’t speak Korean or English as your first language, so the path forward isn’t particularly clear. It would be more logical to learn a European language in some European country.
Conclusion
There is nothing scary or strange in the fact that you will study an oriental language in Korea. Yes, of course, it will be difficult, because training will be conducted in Korean, but studying will not look like an insanely complicated process, but incredibly interesting. After all, they will teach you absolutely from scratch, and moreover, it seems to me that your job will be better than that of people who speak Korean and English.
Also, I would like to ask Sinologists not to be offended by my words that Korean is more difficult than Chinese. This does not mean that I speak Chinese, I just want to emphasize that my personal brain does not explode as much as Korean, and I spend much less time.
That's all! I will be very grateful if you leave comments. This simple act gives me strength and motivation to write for you.
Thank you all for your attention!
