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 know. A Korean friend told me that it is easier to learn Chinese Mandarin than English. If we take a look deeply in the structure and vocabulary of Korean language, it has much more similarities with Chinese Mandarin than that in English. Moreover, Korean used Chinese characters along with the Korean characters in the past.
