Compared to Chinese? :rolleyes: Context is key here buddy.

Chinese is so much harder. Over 3000 Characters. Compared to the Korean alphabet which can be learned very, very quickly due to it's logical construction. Chinese is tonal meaning the same word can have different meanings depending on the inflection on each syllable. Korean is not. To say that Korean is as hard as Chinese or Japanese or Thai or any east Asian language I've encountered is ridiculous.

Hey I'm glad you personally don't find Korean difficult, but by the measures used by people who teach and learn languages professionally, Korean is considered to be in the top tier of difficulty for native English speakers alongside languages like Chinese, Japanese and Arabic. You don't trust government ILR proficiency measures but you link to "onehallyu.com?"

I read and speak Chinese and I've studied Korean (and Spanish, and others) in the past. Chinese characters and tones take a serious initial time investment but Chinese grammar is more similar to English than Korean grammar. Simple orthography makes for a smoother learning curve very early on but makes no real difference at higher levels of competency.

So who is going to create the Kick Starter for a Latin localisation? It would be amazing.
If I had help, I'd just do it. I'm a Latin student of 5 years. While there is a fair amount to translate, with help, I could do it.

I think you’re missing the concept of tiers. The chart isn’t saying that Chinese and Korean are exactly as difficult, but that they both fall in the most difficult tier. This just means that they both require over X hours to become proficient. It’s also measuring time to high proficiency, so the basics being easier doesn’t automatically move something up the chart.
