Japanese more difficult than Korean, or vice-versa?

Besides some of the half Korean girls who speak Korean almost like native speakers, the Finnish girl, the Paraguayan girl and the German girl speak best Korean.

I'm french and I'm learning korean, and i find this very easy. "

@Julien:

Do you mean in which aspect? Grammar, pronunciation or vocabulary? I guess Korean could be easy for French speakers to pronounce because of the "liaison". What do you think?

well, I'm just starting, but I find the pronunciation really easy and the vocabulary too, I'm not sure about grammar.

<<Korean could be easy for French speakers to pronounce because of the "liaison">>

As a speaker of a modern IE language, I think Grammar would be the biggest challenge, especially the syntax.

In Korean (and also in Japanese) the operative verb goes to the end of the sentence, which is counter intuitive to any English or French speaker :-)
