As a speaker of all of these languages I think Japanese is the hardest of them all. Korean has the simplest alphabet, Chinese characters are the hardest but the Japanese use them too. Pronunciationwise Japanese is the easiest though and the hardest is Chinese with its tones. Grammarwise Chinese is the easiest and Korean and Japanese are the same. If you know Japanese Chinese and Korean is easier to learn but especially Japanese and Korean are close sharing both grammar and vocabulary. Korean has the easiest writing system that you can learn in about 10 minutes btw.
10 minutes is damn impressive imo
@@xydez The easiest handwriting ever in my opinion.
@@xydez 2 hours is a more realistic goal for somebody who has talent for language.
@@JK-nh6jpthe degree of tone learning difficulty really depends on people’s first languages. Like people who speak Vietnamese fluently can master tones in Mandarin Chinese much easier than English speaking people.
@@JK-nh6jp also no offense because I don’t know how well you speak Mandarin Chinese, Chinese people will tend to say something good to Mandarin learners even if they actually don’t speak Mandarin well. But if you can really speak it well, just ignore this comments ;)
This is an elaborate and methodical video, I like, well done!
Thank you for your videos. I find them very useful.
Each video you produce I learn something . And entertaining.
You are born teacher , now professor. Because you profess new ideas.

i am absolutely thrilled that the UA-cam algorithm recommended this incredible comparison video of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese language difficulties on my homepage.
The sheer depth of information and insightful analysis presented in this video exceeded my expectations, and it has instantly reignited my passion for resuming my Korean studies. Thanks Zoe! Subbed ^^
R you stationed in ROK?
Good and informative video, thank you!
Thank you for your video, it's very informative and interesting
I am one of those people who deeply love the three languages, thank you so much. I have some knowledge of aquired Korean language and I am making regular effort to understand more Korean. I have also started learning a few Chinese words. For the moment I dare not try learning Japanese, yet I believe I am going to aquire from my favorite Japanese movies. I don't actually dare to think of knowing the languages to the extent I would like to, because I know each and every of my three favourite languages have great depths, carry a lot of wisdom and knowledge and have their distinct personalityes. Each of my three favourite languages can be a passion for life long learning in itself.

yes, I also notice that, the way he edited her video, the mic, and adding some memes, the background...I thought she has new editor, but she mentioned in her old video that she edited herself...
As a Turkish, I can say that Korean has almost the same grammar as Turkish. Learning Chinese makes me feel good because it shows how much I can push my limits. Chinese is a very interesting language and I hope I can learn it and talk to you soon. I continue to learn Chinese , Please continue to keep us informed.❤我们爱中国.대한민국 만세. 日本が大好きです
Great.i relax and have entertaining. while learning hanzi in Chinese. everyone says hanzi are hard, yes it's hard, but it's entertaining.
That's right! The difficulty of something doesn't mean we have to give up on it. I am having a lot of fun while learning hanzi.🎉

Good luck！
(Even I,a native Japanese speaker,sometimes have trouble speaking Japanese)
Thank you so much for making this video. This question has been on my mind for the longest time lol.
Due to the education system, English is my first language and Chinese my second language. I am studying Japanese now and at times I question myself if I should have studied Korean instead. Let me gain fluency in Japanese first and then I will tackle Korean next 😄
Keep up the good work, Zoe. It offers a different perspective compared with others. Not saying that others aren't good but the contents are different so there is always something new to glean from.

新加坡人生活中，在什么情况下才会使用中文呢？
Even if you chose Korean instead it’d still be just as hard if not harder. The pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary count, and honorifics outweigh the kanji difficulties for me. And the kanji isn’t even as hard as some people make it out to be.
@@imshulei with friends and family. English is our working language. Not every Chinese can speak Chinese so it really depends on the situation. Hope this helps you.
PS, my phone unable to type Chinese. Sorry
same. i wonder if ill even have the patience to learn korean later lol. 頑 張 って ^.^
日本語勉強頑張ってください！日本語と韓国語は文法が似ているので、日本語は韓国語の勉強にも役立つと思います
As a Japanese, I didn't have much trouble learning Korean, and within three months, I was able to pick it up reasonably well. However, Chinese uses the same Chinese characters, so the meaning is somewhat understandable, but the problem with Chinese is the pronunciation. Pronunciation is too difficult, and maybe it is just me, but Chinese pronunciation and vocalization are a bit embarrassing and difficult for a Japanese person like me.
Because the Mandarin used by the Chinese government is the pronunciation of some ethnic minorities in the north, the Japanese pronunciation is close to ancient Chinese (Wu and Tang pronunciations), if you try to learn the dialect pronunciation of Wu area (Shanghai, Zhejiang, south of Jiangsu), you will find it very easy.
is it the tones ? i assume japanese isnt a tonal language ?
中国語の中でも北京語、いわゆる標準語とされている言語の発音は最も難しいです。そして、伝わりにくいと実感します。それは、繋げる文字の配列によって声調が変わるものがあるからです。特に代表的なのは「好」ですが、頻繁に使う言語なので、これはすぐに慣れると思われます。南の方にいくと四声が濁ってくるので伝わりやすく、伝えやすくなります。また、広東語圏は全く聞き取れません。その場合は標準語で話してもらうと、すごく伝わりやすくなります。なぜなら、広東語を話す話者にとって標準語を話すことは、日本人と同じくらい四声の使い回しが苦手だからです。

Korean is not studied at all in the language ranking. Korean is popular in Asia, but at a minor level. Japanese and Chinese are major languages and are studied in many countries around the world.
I enjoyed a lot watching this video. I’ve just started to learn Japanese and this video has got a lot of essential information explaining some things. I knew Japanese is hard language but I was wondering which of these 3 languages is the most difficult. Now I have answer 😅

Well.. I don't think this video is accurate. Zoe is native Chinese speaker and she can't speak Japanese and Korean at all.

Omg if people actually ask you those questions I feel the need to apologize on their behalf. As someone fluent in English and Korean, and currently learning Japanese there is a world of difference. I'm still wondering how that's not common knowledge by now ;-; But I might also live in a bubble. Additionally, learning Kanji/Hanja has been a wonderfully challenging experience and definitely makes me appreciate King Sejeong's alphabet all the more. I had it easy learning how to read Korean, and thankfully Korean grammatical structure has helped enormously with learning Japanese even if there's an ongoing debate to their relation/origin.

Thank you so much for sharing this video 🌸
You are great and your job plays an important role
I can listen to you all day your voice and body language is pleasant. I learned so much.
This is well done, as a native japanese, I'm impressed by her research and well summarized historical info.
Thanks for your explanation.I agree with you about the difficulty depending on the native language spoken. In my experince as Mexican learning English, French, and korean and some knowledge of italian and chinese. Korean has been the hardest one grammatically. It is something completely different.
You learn Chinese you know where the difficulties, after all, there are many Chinese idioms and classical Chinese and ancient poetry
Thank you. Thank you very much for this video.😊
Looking very good. Idk about Japanese or Korean but Chinese is tough atm.
As a Korean learner in my own experience that was pretty hard at the beginning but when got into the all basic grammar and already learned the alphabet it started to get easier and easier and listening was pretty important tho never give up when you wanna learn a new language it depends on how much you want to learn it keep going 화이팅 여러분 할수있어요💪🏻💗

Hi Zoe, i love that you like challenging yoirself and even make researchments about the languages that you dont speak. I'm also a language lover like you as a native turkish speaker. Now i have another challenge for you to make comparison between languages. 1st Nordic languages i know that these languages are being a part of germanic languages but it still felt so different to me when i got into them and especially the world of danish,swedish,norwegian arw totally different even though they are all considered as nordic and seems pretty interestting to me. 2nd is turkic languages. Even though im a native turkish speaker never got time to get into turkic world and whenever i watched a video between these langauges and see how much it might be ssimilat with other languages like kazakh kyrgyz etc it was a whole new world to me. I would love it if you made a video about it so we all learn together new worlds. Then maybe we could also get in the latino world😂 lots of love from Türkiye ❤
Turkic languages are definitely on the schedule 🥰😉
Did you try to learn Finnish language which is totally different from English French etc
@@user-cu9si2jt1z no i still didnt get into that but will definetely will consider it thanks for suggestion

I'd really like it if you made a video that dives into how Dungans managed to adopt multiple alphabets, and what we can take from it in the heated debate on whether actually resorting to alphabets would help Mandarin spread while preserving its current functionality.
AMAZING BEAUTIFUL!!!
I definitely agree that your native language really has more of an impact on difficultly. I am a native English speaker, and my family also speaks Twi which is a Ghanaian language. And I'm trying to learn Mandarin.
Being an English speaker makes the tonal aspect of Mandarin really hard both in speaking sentences correctly and in listening. But funnily enough, my Twi background makes some sounds in Mandarin a bit easy to replicate.
And even more funny is that when I listen to Korean, I pretty much feel that I would have an easy time with it's phonetical sounds because of the sounds being similar to some sounds or mouth shapes in Twi.
Very interesting.
As a Ghanaian who is an intermediate Korean speaker and a Chinese Language beginner, I affirm your assertion.. it was quite easier for me to pick up Korean because of it phonetics and I am struggling with the tones in Chinese.. Practice seems to do the magic
@@_esikAcquah nice to meet you Esi! And yes, I just get that feel about Korean so glad to have you confirm it. I always joke when listening to them that it sounds like a west African language so I call them my people 😂
Tones are killing me in Mandarin. I can say the tones on individual words but can't for full sentences. And I can't distinguish it when listening to full sentences.
Im a Turkish person living in Japan. I can speak Japanese quite well, and I am familiar with Korean and Chinese although I can not speak them.
So, Chinese is very different to Japanese and Korean. And although they vehemently refuse, Japanese and Korean are quite similar grammatically. Also, they are similar to Turkish, because Turkish was born in central asia, and is related to mongolian and Altaic. All the Turkish people I met in Japan, they can learn and speak Japanese very quickly and skillfully (Although reading and writing is another story of course).
For me, Chinese is the most difficult one among these, by quite some margin. The existence of Kana letters in Japanese makes it very easy to apply verb tenses etc. I can not imagine using Kanji for this lol :). Also the number of vowels and pronunciation of Chinese is very difficult compared to Japanese.
Thank you for the great video !
じゃあ、トルコ語は比較的簡単にマスターできるかな？🤔どんな言葉かまったく知らんけど…😅
As for the tense, actually you don't need to worry about this in Chinese. Chinese doesn't have any transformation in terms of tense.
always a turk
I'm Mexican and for me Korean is easier to learn than Japanese and Mandarin. I live in Toronto Canada since 1998 and whenever I can, I practice with some of my colleagues at work. I would love to speak Japanese and Mandarin, but for now I'm just studying Korean. I loved your video. Greetings from Canada.
That's beneficial for me, thank you, moreover more easily American with Chinese learn ways🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
As someone who wasn't ever interested in being a polyglot, but knows ( and is familiar to ) 7 languages, id also say that when we say Asia (pointing to east side ofc) we think that the people are able to speak all languages there! but I understood that its wrong, due to the fact that I've been studying korean for a really long time! but then ofc, all and every language has its own complex and easy understanding parts. Thank you for the video zoe
Chinese is hard at the beginning, but when you know about 1000 characters,then magic happens,everything is connected and becomes very logical. Easier and easier,also more interesting.
Same cannot be said for Japanese. Been speaking japanese over 15 years now. Still confused by the unpredictable pronunciation of characters.

Chinese is super hard in the beginning but get easier later, Japnese seems the opposite. One thing very interesting is, each character in Chinese are similar to the "root word" in English. The number of commonly used chinese characters are 3000-5000, once you memorize them, you can basically guess the meaning of all the words you meet. Also, the reading speed of chinese reader is suuuper fast since chinese sentence is very informative comparing to other languages

As a native English speaker, I've studied both Korean and Chinese. Korean is easier to get started because of its phonetic script (5/10), but is harder after the first stage becuase of its more complex grammar (8/10). Chinese is very difficult to get started (recognising characters 11/10), and gets easier afterwards, until it is about the same difficulty as Korean (8/10).
I'm japanese american. I speak japanese and korean well, a little bit of chinese.
I disagree. Japanese is 10/10 difficulty because of the complex mix of japanese and chinese words and the complex grammar.
Korean grammar is equally difficult to Japanese grammar or slightly easier. The script is 1000x easier and the pronunciation is about 4x harder for english speakers but korean overall is about 6/10 difficulty.
Chinese is about 5/10 overall difficulty due to straightforward grammar and predictable pronunciation.
@@JK-nh6jp Although I have no experience with chinese and korean, when I tried looking at korean pronunciation, it looked extremely difficult (recognising eo, tt, kk, etc). Maybe no eo but tt, kk ,g all sound very similar to me where as in japanese everything is straightforward (pitch accent is very recognisable and so is the pronunciation of each letter)?
@@dayzovc Honorifics are equally challenging in both languages. If you look deeply, you will find that there are actually many "levels" of honorifics in Korean and Japanese. The nature of the honorifics is a bit different in each language due to cultural differences (confucianism in Korean, vs. "family unit-/inner unit humility in Japanese). Japanese tend to be very humble when speaking about their own children or even their own ancestors. Koreans less so (they will say "my children are beautiful and my father is honorable" without any second thought).
No offense, but the "conjugation" of eun or neun or "i" or "ga" (sorry i don't have korean turned on this keyboard) are very entry level. You can get used to these within 2-3 months of practice and the rules are very predictable. It's not a major barrier to learning the language and not considered complex grammar. It's like whether to use "a" or "an" in English, sometimes non-native speakers struggle with this but it's not grammatical structure.
I'm speaking from a more intermediate-advanced level. I became pretty much fluent in Korean after 1 year of practice, native speakers assumed I was raised as a Korean American based on my accent, fully immersed while working in the country. I spent much more time studying and speaking Japanese, and came from a Japanese speaking family, and still never had as much grasp of Japanese. This is because of inherent difficulties in the grammar and writing system.
Ask a Japanese who has been out of Japan for 5 years how much their Japanese deteriorates, compare it to a Korean who works abroad 5 years, I guarantee the Japanese has forgotten much of his Japanese literary knowledge even if I went to Todai (I have such friends).
But I don't want to speak in absolutes. I respect your opinion, I just offer my own experience for reference.
@@UncreativUsername I think this confusion would fade away with about 3 months of solid practice, ideally with immersion. Japanese pronunciation is easier, but other parts (grammar and vocab mixing) make it a much harder language.
actually i find that korean grammar only gets more complex at an intermediate level. once you advance beyond that, you start to understand all the separate features that make up all the grammar points, so working out the meaning becomes a bit easier!
similar with vocabulary, i find "complicated" hanja based vocabulary a lot easier and more logical to understand than latin based "complicated" english vocabulary
Korean is easy to get to simple communication level. You can learn reading/writing in couple hours and learn just enough for traveling in couple days. People complain that it gets harder when you get to literature level but what language isn't? Shakespeare isn't easy. If you're traveling to Korea, I recommend learning Hangul. You can do that in the plane and will make your stay much more pleasant.
Well i do not agree your comment It's sure that Hangul is very easy maybe easiest but korean is never easy as you think there are more than 15 ways to express one thing and you can't memorize it and you have to learn it only from experience so I totally agree that it's easy to get to the small talk level but I can be say it is overwhelmingly difficult as a multilingual speaker to use Korean deeper and understand that sensibility
Thanks ❤️ 🎉

For foreigners who do not belong to China, Korea, or Japan, the easiest language to learn is Korean. It has the simplest structure of alphabets. It can be the fastest for basic communication and acquiring simple travel or cultural knowledge. However, Korean can be challenging to master due to its wide range of expressions and irregularities.
Chinese has a relatively easy grammar based on word order, but the large number of characters to memorize poses a significant barrier. Therefore, despite other aspects being easier, it is considered the most difficult language to learn, especially for non-native speakers who need to read and write. The complexity of Chinese characters and tones makes it particularly challenging. It feels the most difficult among the three languages.
Japanese has a complex part similar to Chinese characters, but Hiragana and Katakana are relatively easy, resembling Korean. It has a feeling of being in between Chinese and Korean.
I disagree. Chinese has incredibly easy grammar and and sentence structure/word order where as korean grammar is complex for an English speaker and the word order as well. Chinese characters aren't hard either.
@@tsoii but in order to learn Chinese you need to at least know 3000 alphabets to have basic conversation So Korean is easier to learn
@@tsoii Ok, which one of the 100+ variance of Chinese is easier? Let's start with Cantonese or Mandarine & then 100+ more to go.
I'm learning Japanese.
@@tsoii Easy for you to say if you already know Chinese characters.. otherwise Korean is the easiest for non East Asians. The grammar is not that difficult to grasp since it pretty much follows the same formula. So once you master the basics, you'll advance much more easily. Compare that with Chinese that has so many symbols to memorize and different types of intonations.
King Sejong, who created Hangeul, made it easy for the common people to learn to write. So, anyone can learn easily. It is a very scientific and creative language.
님처럼 여러군데에 국뽕 댓글 복붙 하는건 한국의 위상을 높이는게 아니라 오히려 떨어뜨리는 부끄러운 짓 입니다..🤦
한국어가 배우기 가장 쉽고 과학적이고 창의적인 언어라는 말은 지극히 우물 안 개구리인 한국인 입장이구요.
외국인 입장에선 전혀 아닙니다.😅
외국인 커뮤니티 좀만 돌아다녀도 한국말 너무 어렵고 이해 안간다고 푸념하는 외국인들 정말 널리고 널렸는데요😅
영어 할줄 아시면 시야를 좀 넓게 보시는걸 추천 드리겠습니다^^
제 3자 입장에서 모든 언어는 다 어렵고 분야별로 장단점과 각각 더 쉬운 부분, 더 어려운 부분들이 있을뿐이지 뭐가 더 전체적으로 더 쉽다, 우월하다는 없습니다.
다 자기 모국어가 제일 쉬워 보이는 법 입니다.
오히려 엄밀히 따지면 영어를 가장 많이 쓰고 배우고 영어로 된 정보나 컨텐츠가 가장 많고 영어 교육 서비스도 가장 많이 하니 영어가 비교적 제일 쉬울 순 있겠네요.
과연 중국인이 님처럼 이런 얘기를 했어도 님은 받아들일 수 있습니까? 게다가 요즘 한국어는 순 한국말은 별로 찾아보기 힘들고 대부분 한자 아니면 외래어 영어죠.
즉 많은 부분을 외국어에 의존하고 있습니다. 또 존댓말과 반말이 극명하게 나뉘어져서 배우기도 힘들거니와 서양처럼 처음 본 사람에게 말 붙이기가 힘들게 되어있고 쓸데없이 싸움의 요인이 되기도 하고 굉장히 권위적인 문화가 자리 잡히는 원인이 되기도 하죠.
또 중국어와 일본어에 비해 한국어로 된 정보와 컨텐츠의 양은 극히 적습니다.
이런 부분도 디메리트죠. 그래서 한국어가 제일 배우기 좋다? 이런건 아닌거 같구요.
그리고 제발 중화사상을 강요하는 중국인처럼 한국의 것이 무조건 더 좋다는 식의 국뽕 댓글은 안 썼음 좋겠습니다.
그것도 여러군데 복붙 하는건 더더욱 하지 말구요. 제발 우리 일부 중국인처럼 얼굴 화끈거리는 짓은 하지 맙시다.
그런식으로 외국인의 입장에서 생각 안하는 국수주의적 태도는 오히려 우물 안 개구리 라는걸 반증 하는 꼴 입니다.
자기가 속한 집단이나 자신의 정체성을 올려치기 해서 자신의 자존감과 인정욕구를 채우는 행동은 바꿔 말하면 자기 자신의 가치를 올려 자존감이나 인정욕구를 채우지 못하기 때문에 그런것입니다.
쉽게 말하면 국뽕으로 자존감과 인정욕구를 채우는 사람들은 자기 자신들은 별 볼일 없으니까 그런 행동을 하는거죠.
그런 한심한 행동 그만하고 본인이 열심히 노력해서 자기 자신의 가치를 올리시길 바라겠습니다.😊
Oh you know korean history. I’m little happy!
It's characters technically... not language...Korean language is difficult even I am Korean.
Hangul is just a writing system. It's not a language. The Korean language existed thousands of years before King Sejong invented Hangul..
@@onlyuduru I don't think it's difficult
I really like this clip and I would like you to compare Thai, Lao and Khmer (Cambodian) because they are similar. Especially Thai and Laotian people can talk to each other without needing an interpreter // Requested by FC-Yosita from Thailand. 😊
After learning English and Japanese,I genuinely feel like Chinese truly easy. Like both these two languages have many grammar rules. And there are so many sentential forms in Japanese to express different levels of courtesy😂 And the kanji in Japanese is way more harder than Hanzi in Chinese for those who don't know these kind of characters. I can't find out any regulations of kanji using even if I can read them.
So I feel like Chinese is that kind of language like,once you know,you know. I guess once you survived from 500 basic Chinese characters,you might find everything start to be easy,bc those complicated ones are just combined by basic ones.(or maybe my feelings is wrong I'm native Chinese speaker and I'm talking nonsense) And I also feel tones is not that hard(maybe?) bc when you speak in real life listeners can infer the meaning through contexts as long as your pronunciation is clear.
I speak only english and am now trying to learn Japanese. This is a lot to take in at once, but I'll keep learning one step at a time. 😊

An extra layer of difficulty for the Japanese honorific system that often gets left out is that it's not just the prefixes and suffixes that can change, the words you use themselves are different. Most verbs in Japanese have multiple synonyms across the spectrum.
The standard word for giving something is "あげる(ageru)", but if the person doing the giving is important, you would say "くださる(kudasaru)". And if you are showing the person you are talking to a different level of respect as the person you are talking about, then you get different permutations. ex: talking to a boss about something a friend gave you -> "誰々があげました(daredarega agemashita)" vs talking to a work-friend about something your boss gave you -> "誰々さんがくださった(daredaresanga kudasatta)". Notice how the first sentence uses the formal mashita(past tense of masu), but the standard word for give, and no "san" when referring to your friend. Where as the second sentence uses the honorary word for give with the informal word end "ta".
Korean does the same + more lol

As a complete Korean-English bilingual, I had a rather easy time learning both Japanese (similar to Korean word order), and Chinese (similar S-V-O structure to English + known Ancient Chinese text knowledge from culture). To someone learning Chinese, try imitating pronunciation rather than pinyin. To someone learning Japanese, quickly familiarize both hiragana and katagana.
I recommend Chinese language learners refer to Jon Pasden's "Sinosplice" blog to learn how to pronounce pinyin properly. A big issue with learning Chinese is that the vast majority of Chinese teachers don't spend enough time to help their students really understand pinyin, and this quickly becomes a significant barrier for Chinese language learners.
What you said is not comprehensive. Chinese is not phonography, and there are the most homophones in the school. You should learn words immediately after learning Pinyin, or you will become illiterate.

Your advice about Chinese pronunciation sounds great. I'll try doing this instead of relying too much on pinyin to imitate the sound.

I really like this video but her Korean and Japanese pronunciation is not good.
As a Japanese adult, I usually can imagine meanings roughly when I read Chinese language.
And when I see Korean language, it becomes more difficult to imagine/understand
meanings as Korean letters look completely different from ours.
But a funny phenomenon is there that when it comes to learn those 2 languages,
we tend to need lesser time to learn Korean than Chinese.
I don't know why, but I assume many Japanese people have experienced that.
My native language is Chinese. I tend to learn Japanese than Korea language
Because Korean and Japanese are similar languages. Their sentence structures are perfectly identical. I heard that Koreans can learn Japanese easily too.

Fascinating stuff, I visited 2 out of 3 countries mentioned in the video, Korea, in travels next travels
As an Italian who can speak Korean and Japanese fluently, I can't agree with you at all that Korean grammar is easier than Japanese grammar. In Korean, conjunctions and postpositions are more diverse than in Japanese, and particle markers in Korean are more nuanced. Chinese and Japanese are famous for their difficulties in the West, but Korean is not. Many foreigners who have not learned enough Korean tend to think it is easy. I don't think Zoe actually learned enough Korean to make a video about it..
And I just noticed that Zoe didn't learn Korean at all when I saw her romanizing the Korean "시" into "Xi" instead of "Si" in 6:30. "Xi" is only used in Chinese.
She says that she can't speak Korean but still she tried, also she says don't rely on romanization
It's funny because people are literally arguing about it and saying different things
@@zooropa414 I didn't blame her for not speaking Korean. However, some explanations about Korean were wrong in this video. It's because she cannot speak Japanese and Korean. She should have made the video with more care.
And she wrote down the pronunciation of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese through Romanization. She wrote "시간" as Xigan, not Sigan. And it is wrong.
@@emiliofermi9994 Just curious how long did it take to learn both Japanese and Korean fluently? Cause in my experience even learning one Asian language is already a huge undertaking
You made a great video.😊 Many Westerners misunderstand that Japanese and Korean are genetically related to Chinese. You explained the origin of these languages well. They have completely different origins.
But I think Korean grammar is a little more difficult than Japanese grammar. Because of their easy writing system, many people believe that it would be easy language.😅
Korean and Japanese grammar have the same level of difficulty once you get past the basics.
Zoe did not speak Korean or Japanese at all while making videos on Japanese, Korean, Chinese. She just thought that it would be easy.
@Emilio Fermi That's right. The perception that Korean will be easy is too widespread among people who haven't actually learned it. There are many articles or videos on the Internet that compare the difficulty levels of these three languages, but the majority of people who make those things can only speak Japanese and Chinese, but cannot speak Korean. And they think that Korean is a fairly easy language.

Chinese characters are difficult to write. Japanese and Chinese people share a few common characters so it is easy to access, but for other people, the characters themselves are difficult to write, and it takes a long time to write each character. I mentioned the first hurdle when learning a language that isn't in the video. And this is an explanation of Japanese and Korean from the Chinese perspective. The perspective from Westerners or people from other countries may be different.
oML Your accent is amazing
Japanese is difficult when it comes to Kanji because of onyomi and kunyomi. As a native Chinese speaker I have to unlearn the Chinese characters that was thought from young to understand. Kanji has different pronunciation and sometimes a new meaning compare to regular Chinese words. But generally we can guess the Kanji words as it have similar meaning.

I am learning Korean because I was deceived by the alphabet. As an Italian speaker, I struggle with the subtle differences in pronounciation of many sounds. But too late now. I love it anyway lol
Pronounciation wise, I should have chosen Japanese. For an Italian, the sounds are very easy. But I couldn't get past the 3 writing systems. 😅
Chinese is hard from both points of views, I envy who manages to memorise chinese characters, and can enjoy the allegedly easy grammar as a reward.
Overall, I think they are 3 beautiful languages and cultures ❤
Two common opinions from many foreigners learning Korean:
"Hangul is very easy. If you don't master it in two hours, you're a fool."
“Hangul is an easy character, but Korean is not easy at all. The more you improve, the more difficult it is."
😂😂
You don't have to be bothered by 3 writing systems in Japanese language.
One reason is because they have fewer kanjis and no new characters.
Katakana is used for foreign words like イタリア (Italia). There is kanji for America which is 米国(Beikoku) but mostly
アメリカ (America) is used.
Hiragana are mainly used for conjugating verbs.
Example:
行 iku (go)
It will not be understandable if you just use this without hiragana. By using hiragana you can use this kanji in many tenses
行く iku go
行きます ikimasu (polite form for go)
行きたい ikitai (want to go)
行った itta (went) 行きました ikimashita (polite form)
Hiragana is also used if you forgot the Kanji (*_*)
@@alexandercyrus9927 I understand how they are used, but you must learn all the 3 of them to understand a written text, don't you?
Kanji is not even the same as traditional Chinese, let alone simplified Chinese.
Also I think that furigana (the little hiragana notes next to kanji) is used only in text for children or young people.
So it still feels daunting. However one day when I reach an acceptable level of Korean I want to try again to learn Japanese. Haha
Do you speak Japanese? I admire you!
@@FrancescaMancusoHi there! I'm a Japanese learner. It's pretty easy; I think the way I learned hiragana first was by just getting used to it (seeing it often, rewatching videos, practicing stroke order). same for katakana and kanji Is a bit harder, but I promise you'll find your way. You'll find a bunch of things along the way that confuse you, but when you figure out what they actually are, you'll be like, "Oh, it was that easy?" And yeah, I'm not saying Japanese isn't hard, but it's not as difficult as people say it is. I wish you luck with Korean and the other languages you might pick up.
If you have studied Korean then Japanese must be easy to start studying.
I have studied all three languages and I think I can say I'm pretty fluent in all of them.
Strictly from my own experience, I feel the lack of a grammatical structure or law really makes learning Chinese more difficult than the other languages. Even if I know the same amount of words for each language, it may be more difficult to come up with a sentence in Chinese than in Korean or Japanese since there are words that can only be used as a noun or adjective or verb but in Japanese and Korean the verb 하다 and する allow for a more relaxed grammatical structure.
I don't know I guess I am biased since I am a native Korean speaker who has studied English as one's second language, but it has always felt more challenging to sound more fluent in Chinese than in Japanese, or even other romance languages like Spanish or French

As a Japanese, Chinese is the most difficult one. We can understand some meaning of character because of kanji, but pronunciation is so hard.
I wanna understand Korean so much for my friends and my bias, but I think Korean is also difficult than English.

Wish you luck.
Do you study Mandarin by yourself or with a tutor? I fumbled an idea of starting learning chinese, but realised that I won't have any success without a teacher (can't afford it now). I've been studying Japanese for a year now, by myself, and slowly preparing myself for diving into Korean (for me it has rather hard pronounciation, but thankfully no tones like in chinese and easy writing system).
By the way, Spanish is my another goal.

good luck,i didn't have trouble learning it growing up because Chinese is in my blood
I'm an Indian
And my Native language is Hindi
I am learning Japanese in school
And one time my teacher asked me to show her the alphabet my language uses
And when i showed her a few letters of hindi alphabet
And she said it looked very similar to The Korean writing system because of how the characters were structured
And i could see her point
Because in Korean they use the syllables as combinations for characters
We do this in Hindi as well
We have elements called "Matras"
Which we have to add in vocabulary to make the pronouciation more clearer
This is also the difficult part if your learning hindi
Its not easy to memorize the matras because you would have to translate the way the word is pronounced to add the correct matra
As Korean native you have very good comparison in these three languages hope similar video to come up soon.😁
I spent wonderful years learning Mandarin Chinese, it really was the gateway to an "alien mindset". It was so refreshing switching from german to it and getting rid of the grammar to learn ancient idioms (Chengyu) instead!

And Japanese video games…and everything japan then you will be more motivated and if you r like me can remember the kanji in just about 1 go, i prefer to listen 2 times but you also have to really stare at that kanji really remember how it looks… i want to find those 80? Kanji that make the rest easier to learn… for example 安 女 娘 好き similar.

Japanese is probably the hardest. If you are talking about written Language systems, Japanese is the hardest. You have to learn Kanji, which the Chinese use, but ALSO Katakana and Hiragana, three systems all at once, all used together! Chinese is tonal, which is difficult, but its grammar is simpler than Japanese and Korean. Korean has a simple written system, like latin script. However, on top of this, Japanese has levels of fomality which is almost like another language...and even a lot of Japanese don't know it.

Very interesting analysis. I've learnt both. My mother tongue is Urdu so Arabic was easier in that sense, i.e cognates and script. One of the things though that I find so fascinating about written Chinese though is this idea of going from image to meaning so immediately. I felt like I got an intellectual high from reading it, when I understood it. Wheras, in other writing systems that use letters instead of characters, the images of the letters correspond to the sound of a letter which stacks with other letters to form morpheme to make a sound, one or more of these may then form a word which has to be pronounced in order to finally get to the meaning, assuming you know it. So many steps for just one word. But, with written Chinese it's image to meaning often directly. Although it can be more abstract than that and often multiple radicals and characters can make up more complex concepts. The radicals that make up the characters are also really interesting and useful because even if you are unfamiliar with a character, if you know the radical meaning and perhaps the other components of that character then you might be able to venture a decent guess sometimes.

The response the the question for this video likely will depend upon the native language and method for best absorbing information (and its retention) and being able to use that knowledge to assist in comprehension and implementation. There is also the submersion - How often it is used in the region and how one often one is able to interact with native speakers of the language(s). - in the language and practical use.
Think about it. The more often you can use a language (and get feedback on your accuracy of use) with others, the better you are able to grasp it and even form a larger vocabulary and complex sentence structures.
As for learning the written form... There are many schools of thought on the best method for learning. - Ultimately, there is going to be some level of memorization (even if one doesn't use the wrote method) involved. - I do applaud those with a native language other than English for how readily they seem to grasp it and use it well enough for communication. (Particularly those with the characters/script(s) of the Chinese, Russian/Ukrainian, Greek, Mid-Eastern (like Egypt), etc. languages that don't use Roman type character (letters) to form words (or thoughts).
I had used the "Pimsleur" audio course for Manadarin 1 -3, but still find it severely lacking with clear enunciation (so I can accurately understand correct pronunciation) and, with the one I got (Gold series) there was no incorporation of the written form (characters) so that there is no reading it. The lessons don't actually translate to conversational level Mandarin either. There are questions and responses that might be used by a toddler or a child in the 3rd year of elementary school.
I didn't retain enough of what I learned (even after having gone though all three twice) to have a decent, unscripted, conversation with anyone. - Certainly not enough to have one with a native speaker on a level that any of them would regard as actually having a grasp of the language.
(I do use what I know to annoy co-workers though. - Especially one that seems to know Japanese. She seems to have a sense of humor about it though.)

Hello Zoe Laōshi !! I'm from Brazil and I'm a language student, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Mandarin and Arabic. Of all, the most difficult is Japanese, the rest is easy, mainly Mandarin, German and Arabic. German is the most advanced of all. I've been learning Japanese for 3 years and I barely made any progress, I learned Mandarin and kept It in a week of study. Arabic is the latest and I have learned to write the words myself and write from right to left. I really liked it and I'm another subscriber!!
Your awesome
The difficulty of any language is relative to what you already speak. I already speak fluent Japanese (learned it in college), which means that Korean is waaaaay the hell easier for me to learn at this point due to the grammar and most of the sounds being nearly identical. For someone whose first language is a tonal language, Mandarin is probably easier.
I'm from Finland and when I started to learn Japanese 2 years ago, the pronunciation was very easy because it sounds similar as Finnish and both languages share same word, but different meaning. But there's also same words which meaning is also same like 🇯🇵や(ya) and 🇫🇮ja means both "and" in Japanese and Finnish. Also 🇯🇵ローハ(roova) means an old lady and 🇫🇮rouva can Also mean The old lady.
😂someone said that Finns’ ancestors were come from north Asia(include north china and Siberia) thousands years ago. Your body heredity may be from maternal line.
