It all depends on the native language of the learner. For speakers of most European languages, English would be a much easier language to learn than Korean. However, for a Japanese speaker, Korean would be much easier than English. I think most native English speakers like to think that our language is much more difficult to learn than other languages, but a lot of the time that is simply not the case.
not for native english and spanish speakers like me, but the writing system was easy af.
What is the difference between "Korean language is easy" vs "Korean is an easy language."
In the first sentence, "easy" is not being used as a modifier, but rather as a predicative adjective so it just conjugates as normal -> "한국어는 쉽습니다."
In the second sentence, "easy" is being used as an adjective ("attributive adjective") that modifies "language" , so it needs the ㄴ grammar rule -> "한국어는 쉬운 언어입니다."
What world are you living in?
Although to be fair I am a native English speaker so that's not helping

what's so interested about Korean is that it attracts me from learning it because of how fast and easy when learning Hangul character, but after you got into the real materials, with those grammar and conjunction blablabla, good luck with that
I mean, for me, the grammer isn't an issue. For me, it's all the vocabulary. I just can't seem to remember all the vocab words
Honestly it's not that bad. I changed my phone language to Korean today and between context clues, Konglish and a little help from Google Translate, I adjusted really quickly. Plus I have 2 friends who speak Korean fluently and they're both in 9th grade! Once you change your mindset and really focus on immersing yourself in the language (songs, movies, change a few language settings etc.) it should be a breeze

Rubbish. I'm spending years and years trying to learn this language. No chance. The Korean language is too complicated. French is easy. After some months of studying I'm almost fluent in communication in French.
