Have you ever had those questions in your mind whenever you face the decision to learn a language? I bet you have. Well, one consideration of the easiness of a language depends much on the language that the learners have known. A Korean friend told me that it is easier to learn Chinese Mandarin than English. If we look deeply into the structure and vocabulary of the Korean language, it has many more similarities with Chinese Mandarin than that in English. Moreover, Koreans used Chinese characters along with Korean characters in the past.
