For anyone who has studied all three of these (even to very basic level), what’s your opinion?
For me so far:
Chinese = easiest
Japanese = middle
Korean = hardest
I find with Chinese, once you are over the initial bumps and bruises from tones, characters and the fact there is no alphabet, it actually gets easier to learn (illustrated in this graph below by Sinosplice).
Korean I’ve found the hardest so far because the pronunciation is tough.
Whilst the alphabet is easy, that’s where the joy ends. I hope in time I manage to get over these early wobbles with Korean.
What do you think?
