Korean language borrowed word roots from old chinese characters. but that's all. They have very very different grammar, sound system, and writing system. Chinese : S+V+O Korean : S+O+V, an agglutinative language Grammar is easy to learn and not important when speaking. I live in China with alot of Koreans so I know, the vocabulary of Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese is just so similar. And Vocabulary is the most important part when you learn a new language. | ||

Also, if you are somebody who will encounter a lot of people speaking english due to your job it should be quite normal to learn english. I don't think Japanese are much better than Koreans in English overall. Japanese also have the one of the most difficult accents to understand when they're trying to speak English. "Mahgeudonarudo". Maybe you just ran into a lot of Japanese who received pretty extensive English educations for business purposes. | ||

Of course I'm sure he can play better with a nights sleep and such things but I would still say Idra is the slight favourite. | ||

I'm hoping and guessing Bo5... | ||

Maybe you just ran into a lot of Japanese who received pretty extensive English educations for business purposes. Western languages not only share the same alphabet, but same general sentence structure and pronunciation. Asian languages have different alphabets, but they speak sounds we never do, and never speak sounds we always do. Makes it inherently a lot harder for them than for Europeans to speak English. (i think Europeans are exposed to it a lot more, and expected to be able to better at it too) | ||

So there's no incentive to be able to speak and write English. Companies require job seekers to have the ability to understand and speak English better than they asked before. So the importance of English in Korea (and Japan, as far as I know) is increasing annually. But there are so many differences between English and their Language. While one is spoken in the far west europe, the other is spoken in the far east. it's no wonder that Korean people are uncomfortable with English. | ||
