I started learning korean a year or so ago.
But since I don't speak Japanese, I can't compare the two. I do believe the grammar is similar in some respects unlike chinese for example.

How is your progress? Can you speak decently now?

Japanese. It is 110% flawless in that regard.

can start with either. grammar's the same, just different words. it's easy to pick up one after you study the other if you want

Not yet, but I am pretty adept at reading. Only started to work on speech a month ago. Twisting yout thought process inorder to string sentences together on the fly still seems nearly impossible.

For context, I study ~3 hours every day on my daily commute. My vocabulair is ~ 3500 words

nice, good job, in a year thats's impressive.

Thanks for advice, it is kinda hard to decide as I mentioned I like both, pronounciation not a problem and korean writing is way easier to learn so idk. It's tough for me to decide, because you can lose motivaiton easily.

Maybe it's an idea to look up resources for both languages and read the first couple lessons to get a general feel for the langauge.

This is what I have used primarily as my resource:

Korean, it's totally worth it, you can't live in Japan for longer than 5 years and even if you marry and have kids with a japanese you'll never be, Korea is a happa redpilled country ;)))

It's hard to commit to one since it takes many years to learn it properly.

True.
How motivated do you gage yourself?

When I commit I do really, but the initial process to start is hard since it involves hard decision.

They're both useless

If you're going do to it for pragmatic reasons. I would think that finding documents to read is easier for japanese... which I assume to be true for I have a hard time finding suitable korean texts.

I can't think of any reason to learn korean besides kdrama

I'm Japanese, and I recommend you to learn Japanese because you become able to watch anime!

This, considering English is the global lingua franca

But if you want to learn a language just for fun, I recommend Japanese. Even if you never really use speak it frequently, at least it's fun to know the moon runes such as
>私は日本も日本語を嫌い。

>kdrama
>anime
chicks bros. talking to the chicks

If you study korean you pick up some of those moon runes though.

>日本語 = Japanese language

t. don't speak japanese

Oh yeah I heard they didn't get completely rid of them, but it's really rare.

Korea is the future, just look at k-pop. Nobody gives a shit about Japan anymore besides beta weebshits

It's used in newpapers as I understood it. (never checked whether this is true).
But studying Hanja (chinese characters which are suspiciously like kanji) is the way to understand the root of a word.

What if you're homo?

Will Japs/Koreans let you live in their countries if you seek out same-sex companionship

>私は日本と日本語の両方が嫌いだ。日本死ね。

why look to asia if you're homo. asian males are repellant. much better pickings here or europe if you lean that way

>If you study korean you pick up some of those moon runes though.
Really? I never see them used in Korean? The more you know i guess

Yupp, but it's rare, mostly used in TV or Newspapers, but when someone types on the internet you will almost never come across. New generation of south koreans also don't learn it.

I'm not making any claims, I'm just wondering.

>This, considering English is the global lingua franca

Is this what monolingual EOPs tell themselves to feel better about not learning another language?

korean

>Is this what monolingual EOPs tell themselves to feel better about not learning another language?
said paco in english

koreans now only know like 200 of them, a few generations ago it was all they used

uhh, uhh 分かりません? also thanks, I thought it was と, but was unsure so I used も instead

this

I said I was learning Japanese, but I still think it's retarded to do considering I know English

Negro, if you're learning nihongo it's because you're interested in the country, the culture and the media.
How "useful" a language is is irrelevant.

I don't give a single fuck about learning Chinese because I don't care about China.

J-Pop -> "K"-Pop
J-Pop is first. What is this "K"? too much complex of Korean. Disgusting :(

>if you're learning nihongo it's because you're interested in the country, the culture and the media.
But I'm not interested in any of this user. I don't even plan on ever going there. I just like the moon runes, and I fell for the djt meme

let me say only this
>language
>“South Korean”

hahahaha good joke

the only reason k-pop is that popular is because porn is literally banned in shitrea

what a shithole, no wonder koreans want to leave that shit washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/young-south-koreans-call-their-country-hell-and-look-for-ways-out/2016/01/30/34737c06-b967-11e5-85cd-5ad59bc19432_story.html?utm_term=.0b0732fcf7d1

t.在日

aren't the moonrunes chinese? why not just learn that then

most kpop fans are teenaged girls. almost all in fact

traditional chinese is much more aesthetic than kanji and you can feel like a genius reading classic literature

Yeah, they call themselves hell Korea. Koreans are punished by Japanese and US for a while because This fucking Korean backstabbed Japan and US. US is closing own market from Korean and Japanese are stopping to help Korean about industrial technology and relevant market. It's own false. KFC

Fair point user. Again, I also fell for the djt meme. That was really the only reason why I chose Japanese

>US is closing own market from Korean and Japanese are stopping to help Korean about industrial technology and relevant market.
Since when?

>south korean is a language

what is djt

Oh, its you, the fucking Jap living in Germany. Fuck off.

he's one of those crazy japs with a proxy or attending some neonazi larping conference in germany. don't get him started and shit up the thread

Yeah, I know some European girls go K-pop, after that, actually they turn to J-pop and Japanese culture because they find Korean pop cultures are all just copied version of the Japanese one. It's so so fake. Many of my friends turned and looking down Korean who steal Japanese culture and pretends to Japanese.

can pretty much guarantee it's just some larping white guy

Check political papers.

A thread on int for Japanese learning (Daily Japanese Thread)

that's awesome kenji. hope you scored with one and can settle down

why you are so mad. What is your function in Poland?

hahahaha

I do read political papers. Rarely do they mention south Korea. The only "closing off" I've seen is the tariffs on washing machines, which barely dents Samsung

Well, you should find atmosphere. But especially it is pretty critical that Japanese majority are starting to hate Fucking Koreans. Thus, many Japanese companies which supported Korean industries are stopping this special treatment. Instead of the treatment, Japanese industries are aggressively competing with Koreans. This is not really visible phenomenon because of psycological matter. But this is seriously striking them. Good.

>Japanese majority are starting to hate Fucking Koreans
I'll have to take your word on this, since I haven't seen any studies about this
>Instead of the treatment, Japanese industries are aggressively competing with Koreans.
But the Japanese economy is still stagnating, so how are they competing? Also, SK still doesn't produce any cars, so they never helped them with this

>SK still doesn't produce any cars
What about Kia/Hyundai?

Japanese stock options price is marking very high point after economics crash for a while.
SK has copied Toyota that pretends to a Japanese car. At least it was succeeded if you look only design but not quality.

Sorry, your right on that. I meant they don't produce cars to the scale Japan does, and don't have any dominance on this market compared to Japan

Japanese students are still naive but also not used to speak about politics. However, unexpectedly, Japanese conservative party was won and supported young generation in Japan at last voting. We are tired to help Korean and Chinese ass hole. They're backstabbing even though we helped their development. And they want to overcome US too.

>Japanese stock options price is marking very high point after economics crash for a while.
It's been pumped up by the BOJ. There hasn't been any organic growth to make it rise, and Abenomics has had mixed results at best. Also, inflation is still nil

Why so much hate for SK (I can see why China is disliked)? When exactly did you start disliking them?

I started to learn South Korean kinda randomly last year and I think I did well, many opportunities for foreigners that speak Korean. Also they are overall more welcoming. The thing with Japanese is that there are too many weebs learning it and many of them are still quite hostile toward foreigners. While not a lot of people learn Korean, recently things changed because of the Kpop wave more and more people are learning Korean, but still, it's not that much, and many of them are girls that are into drama or kpop way too much, not a very competitive population.

There is this side but you cannot say any more Japanese economics is under stagnation. Abenomics is succeeded. However, the Japanese company is facing lack of human resources and the average salary of Japan is rising. Therefore poor foreigner is trying to enter Japan very much.

he started disliking them when he started larping for yous

netouyos are a real thing my man. he's most likely a jap. old too, probably in his forties or fifties

netouyos are also autistic shutins that would never live in Germany

proxy. he's probably the guy that spams those images in every korean related thread and got sick of being banned so often

doubt it, he's been posting all "night" and it's 9am in japan now. he also has the tryhard "look my grammar so bad :))" thing going and wouldn't respond in japanese to someone else

in that case hans is pretty dedicated to his craft, I'll give him that

Create fake history and try mounting over Japanese. I have been in EU and the US sometime. It is so disgusting to see these Korean and Chinese who pretend to Japanese and wearing Japanese fashion and cultural stuff and atmosphere. On other hands they are hating Japan. What are these disgusting metals? Talking precisely, Chinese are challenging to invade Japanese territory and Korean actually took an island. But we helped them so much! What is this non-moral asshols? You can not imagine this sort of asshols. Also, I cannot find in Europe too. Seems that China-based countries are used this sort of disgusting moral code. We Japanese are re-realizing this. (and the US too. US helped Korea war but look what Koreans are trying now)

I'm not netouyo and not so old. Actually, netouyo is a certain expression from extream left wings in Japan so-called Payoku. My view is pretty much acceptable to Japanese majority as a conservative position but not as right wings.

まぁ、人の言語批判するのは日本語話せてからにしようね?

>On other hands they are hating Japan
>Chinese are challenging to invade Japanese territory and Korean actually took an island
Well you're right on these two points. I can see why you dislike them

I don't speak Japanese, I'm korean-american and known many Japanese from playing baseball together who don't hate korea at all and simply noticed your language from another thread. Post passport/timestamp if you want.

It is pretty disgusting to see someone who is hating you so much, therefore, try to kill you or bullying you, but actually too much jealous of you and copying your fashion, a certain way of action, and any cultural stuff that you made. No life.

No worry they will realize sometime late anyways.

Please return our island ok?

What're you doing in germany anyway, takeshi?

Also, SK keeps making you apologize for the comfort women even though you've repeatedly apologized and they keep making you pay more and more money for it

Got pretty wife recently and enjoying IT-related work. Also, I'm thinking if I should go to PhD.

Good. I'm looking for killing each other with Fucking Koreans. Enjoy your fantasy until we kill you.

Oh I miss posted.
Yes, This is one of the reasons for that. Hm you know well.

>a japanese dork trying to act tough online and talk about killing anything
now I've seen it all

Hm it caused from my Janglish. However, it is very much welcome to start a war between Japan and Korea or China. They can hate Japan but don't copy us. What a complex! disgusting.

>Hm you know well.
Like I said, I read the news and have noticed that SK does have some animosity towards Japan

towards Japan's government, not its people. these guys in Japan hate any and all koreans for the fuck of it. probably because their economy's been shit for awhile while korea's has been improving in the same time frame

Well, talking fairly, The Koreans are occupied by China so longtime and abused by them. I guess their mentality went something wrong direction. "Unti-Japan" among Koreas is some sort of religion. There is no rational explanation. They are mental.

Chinese are asshols but they are still foxy compare with Fucking Korean.

This is a what Fucking Koreans are dreaming. I hear this sort of ideal explanation for Koreans who don't want face a fact. Fucking Koreans are too much spoiled by Japanese. Therefore actually it is own fail. But the time is ending finally. It seems to me finally.

Look the image, Japanese cannot do this sort of things. It's Korean.

well people like you certainly aren't helping. that's really fucked up, but you're probably exaggerating how mainstream that sentiment is in Korea. I'm pretty sure those types are becoming more and more looked down upon. and yes japanese can do those sorts of things. I've seen the vids of japanese marches and shouting vans.

I recommend you learn Chinese. :3
These are reasons.

* High population
* Many business partners
* Easy to use at work

There may be many Chinese who can speak magyar nyelv,
but Chinese is more useful Japanese and Korean.

By the way,
I'm so gladed that there are people who learn Japanese.

Although Japanese language is a very miner and useless and difficult language,
I think that it is thankfully thing that there are many people who learn Japanese language.

People can find always asshols and it is existing in Japan too but the issue is a percentage. Koreans are are just nonmoral mental. Fucking Korean also starting to stand Chinese side and backstabbing the US which supported during Korea war.

>le speak in broken English so people think I'm Jap

Fooling no one, 英語先生

I'm not a English teacher. :3
