The alphabet is extremely easy. I was surprised by how simple it really is, but actually quite glad. Sure...I don't know anything besides "하나", but it is a start!

That website you linked to is great btw. edit: haji you freak, get back to work lol Only reason I call it extremely easy is because I've tried learning other languages before...and it was a tad more difficult than Korean. Either that or I was being quite slow at that time.. | ||

Both languages are hard to pronounce, if you're American or w/e. | ||

You have to learn Hangeul, the romanization, and the keys on a keyboard. For instance I know the romanization of dad is abba but when I type abba it comes out like: 뮤ㅠㅁ so thats like... three things to memorize. | ||

Reading Korean is no problem...I learned Korean as a first language...but I've forgotten since my parents freaked and only permitted me to speak English when I was young (I couldn't speak fluent English until I was like ~4-5 or something). I can still read Korean fine...just I only understand like half of what I'm reading...lol. | ||

Found it in another thread here on TL through Google. | ||

When you say Japanese is easy, do you mean just the spoken language? Or is Japanese writing easy as well? I always assumed it was difficult due to kanji and all that. Structure of sentences is other way around if I remember correctly, so this can be pain. 2basic writing systems: Hiragana and Katakana aren't that bad, when I was learning a little I found them fun... but Kanji... meh there is something like 3000 standard characters used -> daily (and old non used / archaic is something like 8000 - 10 000?)? I have no idea how they read Kanji like as small as letters here.but the truth is both Hiragana and Katakana are easier-to-write (simplified) Kanji; there is interesting history behind both systems because Katakana was 1st used mostly by men (Buddhist monks invented it? can't remember) and Hiragana by women http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiragana#History I think I read somewhere that Japanese people themselves, especially teenagers avoid a little using Kanji when writing... it's just faster? | ||

The keyboard layout is probably the easiest in the world to learn. | ||
