Korean is a lot easier to read and write than Japanese In terms of the number of symbols you have to memorize but both have many grammar similarities
Korean does do weird things with the ppsition and pronounciation of the alphabet letters though
A lot of people think they know or can learn Japanese because they watch Japanese Anime but they can not handle it or are not as good at it as they think they are
@shortstories true Japanese language is more difficult and there's kanji and the other alphabet. I wanted to learn Japanese so I can watch it in Japanese but I got too much on my plate to learn.
For example, 本田 is pronounced Honda, while 田本 is, of course, pronounced Tamoto. (But they're both names so whatever.)
They are not actually saying anything of meaning they are just listing a lot of brand names or proper nouns in a row and not a complete sentence at least up to the poInt I stopped listening
@shortstories @Zergling_man it's from Scary movie, that movie is a parody of many movies. I just laughed because it's absurd.
Not my kind of humour to begin with I guess, and then American accents make everything worse.
@Zergling_man @shortstories sorry the Wayne brothers made it and they're niggers, just saying.
Isn't the language new and the letters based on the mouth shape of pronunciation?
It is supposed to be easy because it's practical.
The ancient language was banned by the Japanese.
I am just going to say that the better I learn Korean the more I notice how badly the actual Korean pronounciation matches the alphabet
A lot of the letters have two different types of pronounciation based on context but in reality it is much worse than that and I suspect native Koreans pronounce words with the same spelling differently even if it is the same person they will pronounce the same word differently the second time
But you can still figure it out usually
My extended family is Korean. They shared a lot of history
@shortstories
You can do the easy way:
ONLY learn conversation, don't bother with reading and writing.
You have translators for that.
