learning Chinese or Japanese WITH Korean? - boycott - 2013-02-03
I am currently studying Korean and have learned it up to a beginner/intermediate level. I had previously studied a little Chinese and Japanese as well, but I forgot most of what I had learned as I was nowhere near knowing them at an intermediate level anyways
Anyways, I know that Korean and Japanese are very grammatically similar and Sino-Korean words today make up about 60% of the Korean vocabulary. I have also heard that the pronunciation of many hanja and their corresponding hanzi differ considerably. How true is this? Is it much easier for Korean speakers to learn the pronunciation of Chinese words than Japanese words? Is it easier for Korean speakers to learn Chinese vocabulary than it is to learn Japanese vocabulary? Because I am highly interested in Chinese and Japanese, I've thought about re-learning one of them while also studying Korean concurrently
Has anyone tried learning Korean with Chinese or Japanese at the same time?

I personally do not understand why anyone would want to learn in THAT order since korean people don't write anything in hanja (except for north and rice in the newspaper) in korea.
anyways here's korean stufffffs
you can check out this thread on korean resources

which mentioned this site that helps you take advantage of your japanese kanji knowledge
http://korean.nomaki.jp/site_j/kanji.html
amaybe there's a similar thing for chinese but I can't google in chinese so i don't know if such a site exists. but anyways i'm sure with enough immersion and studying you can learn that stuff anyway... but I like stuff like this.
p.s. your korean is good? or you're just bored of korean? I don't know if you're goal is fluency or conversational level etc etc but if it's fluency you gotta stick to one.
