As a westerner the biggest difference I have learning the two is volume and accentuation.

Japanese is so much smoother and quieter for the most part. It almost requires me to focus with a different mindset to pronounce the words properly.

Korean is easier because the syllables vary in emphasis like they do in English and other western languages.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
