Korean is a Catagory III language according to the US Foreign Service and US State Department. I have no idea what that implies about how hard it is for a Korean speaker to pick up English (somehow I doubt learning difficulty is Symmetric) but it means that Korean is as hard a language as you are going to find for Idra to just pick up.

I actually am taking a Korean course at my school right now, for me it seems pretty easy, compared to English and Chinese, which are both my native languages, especially on the written part.

lol bullshit statement?
English is easy. Not only because of its structure but also because of the reason that pretty much everything can be found in english.
If English is the hardest language to learn 'for a foreigner', then what the hell are you gonna call Chinese, Finnish, Polish, etc?

also that vid was so priceless lol :D

Unreal expectations on language again. It doesn't matter how easy korean is, if you don't have any time to spend learning it. Comparing Idra's situation to probably exchange/graduate students in the U.S. is a joke in so many ways.

I would argue that Korean is easier to learn than English. English is one of the hardest languages for a foreigner to learn. I don't know how hard Korean is to a foreigner, but I would say it isn't as hard as English. Idra should be able to ask basic things like "what did I do wrong" and "How do you do this" or maybe even "what is this player known for" and "I would like some rice and meat" at the very least of things, and understand enough Korean to be able to have a nearly complete idea of what exactly they are saying. I'm not saying that he should be able to be able to translate complete korean interviews or be able to watch a show and understand everything that is said, I'm saying he should be able to at least converse with his team mates at the basic level.
disagreed, english is probably the easiest language to learn

Apparently Turkish is ridiculous because there's no set sentence pattern, like subject, verb, object and you can put words together however you want, making it difficult for foreigners to learn. I hear that speaking Chinese is easy, it's just learning all the characters that make it a bit of a hassle.

ghostWriter, Chinese is a tonal language, and there are words which are "exactly" the same just said in a different tone, changing meaning.
If you dont get the tones right people will think your retarded i guess.
