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!
I love your video, it is very informative and I am a native Spanish speaker who wants to learn Japanese and I think that learning a language takes a long time and your video was a good introduction to learning the Japanese language.
Thank you for your videos. I find them very useful.
i am absolutely thrilled that the RUclips 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 ^^

그런데 이 영상은 중국인의 입장에서 한국어 일본어 중국어를 비교 평가한것입니다. 위 3국의 언어를 쓰지 않는 다른 언어를 사용하시는 분의 생각이 궁금합니다.
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
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 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.

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.

Well.. I don't think this video is accurate. Zoe is native Chinese speaker and she can't speak Japanese and Korean at all.
@An I bet you don't speak all three languages. And some of the information is wrong..! She just brought some misconception of Korean or Japanese from the Internet.
@An So you CAN'T speak Korean!! I'm saying that the information about Korean is especially wrong in this video. I can speak Korean and Japanese. How can you be sure that the explanation of Korean is correct in this video even though you can't speak Korean??
@An lol. Great. 😆
Very good and easy to understand video👍🏻
It takes a lot of knowledge to create this video. Impressive!
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.
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. 😊
Although it is very difficult to memorize kanji, I am glad that there are people who are learning Japanese. I wish you the best!
がんばれ！！
Take it slow, I took Japanese class and saw many people who only spoke English suffer but eventually learned the language. Just remeber, you have to put lots of work...

When you learn Japanese, you also learn the history of many languages including Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, English and more. In fact, it sometimes does a better job at teaching Chinese history than modern Chinese.

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。

This is very interesting. I'm from the U.S but for me Japanese came easier to me than the others. I'm still learning though but I do love this video. It makes me more excited and confident to keep learning these languages with a new perspective in mind 😎
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.
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. 😊
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
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 ❤

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.

That's beneficial for me, thank you, moreover more easily American with Chinese learn ways🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
AMAZING BEAUTIFUL!!!
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.
嗯，學日語的話，就直接不要學漢字的部分會快一點上手，全部都先寫成平假名，最容易，以非中文母語的人來學的話（因為所有漢字都有對應的平假名）
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.

日语肯定最容易 因为日语在人类语言里有最少的元音，任何一个外国人学日语发音都不困难，而日本学生学任何一种外语都会被发音困扰，所以日本人外语水平很差，至少在同等收入水平的国家里是最差的

hahaha, this is really funny, my 2 favourite countries in the world are Finland and Japan (but i have spent more time in Japan). I have always thought that there are many sounds in both languages that are very similar. But I thought it was only me thinking that.
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.

As Korean native you have very good comparison in these three languages hope similar video to come up soon.😁
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.

물론 저 논문이 로베이츠와 중국 학자를 선두로 중국의 지원아래 발표되긴 했지만, 로베이츠가 중국의 요구에 절반만 들어주면서 중국정부가 불만족스러울 정도로.. 로베이츠가 선사 중국과 선사 한국-일본을 분리 시켜버렸죠.
즉 9천년 전에는 중국은 선사-한국.일본, 선사 몽골, 선사 퉁크스, 선사 터키와는 전혀 언어적 접촉이 없는 다른 문명에서 출발했다는 거죠. 헌데 현재 중국은 입장은 현재의 아시아는 선사시대부터 중국의 영향을 받았다고 주장하지만, 로베이츠의 논문은 결과적으로... 저 트랜스 유라시아어를 쓰던 한국-일본,몽골, 돌궐, 퉁그스 계통의 문명이 중국에 영향을 줬다는 결론에 도출되지요. 저러니 저런 유튜버가 언어 공정을 하는 것...

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.
Thanks ❤️ 🎉

I really like this video but her Korean and Japanese pronunciation is not good.
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.

It may not cover all the bases and it may not be aimed for all people with varying degrees of language methods. Hence, it may suit the needs of some people. Broadly dismissing this outright can be considered heavy handed, especially when what you say is, ironically, quite incomprehensible. Also, hiding your ID from 鸠不 易出, just makes your comments less credible and insincere.
As a Chinese I think you are wise
Your advice about Chinese pronunciation sounds great. I'll try doing this instead of relying too much on pinyin to imitate the sound.

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
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
Nice video 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Katakana (made based on a part of kanji) is used for non-Chinese loan words🙂
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. As many people say, Japanese and Korean grammar is same and the sound or meaning of some words are similar, however i cant understand hangul still now and this language speed is fast for me. but i love the cute sound so someday i hope i can speak well haha
The Modern Chinese (&it's dialects) V/S Middle Chinese V/S Old Chinese deserves an episode on it's own. Considering how big Chinese linguistic history is.

@@prasanth2601 Mandarin is considered a modern language which existed for less than 1000 years old. Mandarin is mainly a medium of communication between government ministers during the Ming and Qing dynasty. During the ancient times mandarin was not widely spoken. It is only limited to the northern part of China and to those people who hold government titles. Mandarin is only widely promoted during the Communist China , Since then it has become the official language of the whole china widely used by masses in education, administration, technology, mass media and so on
As a Korean, i think for us japanese is easiest one to learn, then english then chinese or could be other way around between eng and chinese. For chinese i’m talking about cantonese specifically because there’s less ‘r’ sound and i found that there’s more similar sounding words in terms of pronunciation.

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.)

This was cool to learn. It’s been easier for me to learn Japanese so far when I translate from Spanish and not as much in English I’m also going to learn Korean
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

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

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!!
I would say that both Japanese and Chinese are hard when it comes to writing, but Japanese might be slightly easier for English speakers because of the sheer number of loan words and the use of katakana to write them. It's easier to write biiru in katakana than pijiu in Chinese characters for beer. Also, I think the grammar of Japanese helps you to organize. You know if something is an adjective or a verb because of particles or because it follows certain conjugation patterns. In chinese, it's not always clear if a character is acting as a verb or an adjective or if a Chinese character stands on its own or is part of a bisyllabic compound because you don't have particles and okurigana to signify word boundaries and tell you the function of a word. By mixing the three writing systems, it's actually very clear how the sentence is structured in Japanese. I think it's much harder to develop a vocabulary in Chinese because of the sheer number of two-character compounds and how the words can sound very similar but differ in the use of tones.
Mean while in hong kong we using traditional chinese where there is 口語 and 書面語 where the way you speak and write is different. The character are also more complex because it is traditional not simplified use by cheap chinese. ex 戀愛= 恋爱。Honestly they are more complex but it saves 0.1 sec in physical writing and same time in typing on keyboard
Putonghua, also known as Mandarin, has been prevalent in China for about 150 years. It is newer compared to other regional languages such as Hokkien, Cantonese, and Sichuanese. Some argue that its origins during the Qing Dynasty, influenced by non-Chinese factors, make it distinct from traditional Chinese languages. However, it is widely recognized and used as a standard form of Chinese today.But strictly speaking, it's not really Chinese(漢語)

I'm a native Swedish speaker from Sweden and I'm currently learning Korean on my free time. I also learned a little bit of Mandarin and a little bit of Japanese. I listened to all three languages quite a lot (from watching films and TV-series). A thing that I find interesting is that, since Swedish is a partly tonal language, the different tones in Mandarin feels pretty intuitive for me. I hear the diffenrence very clearly. The pronounciation though is very different. Korean pronounciation is relatively hard, but Japanese sounds on the other hand is VERY similair to Swedish. I think we use almost all sounds that I ever heard listening to Japanese. I speak English and French fluently as well so I have those languages to compare with too. The English "w" and "z" sounds help and French helps a little when it comes to speak some Mandarin sounds. This is my personal experience though, so I can't speak for all native Swedish speakers.
Interesting!

As a Spanish native speaker the three languages have a high level of difficult 😢😢
But I'm trying to learn basic Mandarin as a hobby... Wish me luck, I try not to give up on it
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.
