Do you guys think that learning Korean language is a promising choice?What about Chinese?

Question

i am thinking of learning a foreign language. which one is better,you guys think, Korean or Chinese?

Answer 1

I think either one is an outstanding idea. Both of these languages are important in the global economy and probably will remain so in the foreseeable future.
I'm in sales and many of my prospects are Korean and Chinese. I learned just a few phrases in both languages to use as an ice breaker and the reception I received was outstanding!
For me, Korean is somewhat easier to pronounce than Chinese -and with Chinese there are various dialects which also make it more difficult (at least for me.)
My advice is to choose the one that makes the most sense to you and enjoy it.

Answer 2

Bear in mind that Korean is easy to read and write. You can learn that very quickly. Chinese, on the other hand, is extremely
difficult to read and write.

Answer 3

I know that for business people, it is a wise choice to learn Chinese.

Answer 4

chinese. korean is rather limited in use, probably useful for business purposes only, if tryign to date some korean chick whose old fashioned parents don't approve that you are not korean.

chinese (mandarin) is spoken worldwide. it's a useful skill many companies are looking for in job candidates. and there is more open minded chinese than koreans to speak with. there.

Answer 5

chinese. its the next BIG thing in the world economy....

learn mandarin. it'll do u good. korean is only limited in korea... mandarin.... emmm.. u can use it in... china, US chinatown, australia chinatown, canada chinatown, capetown chinatown, south east asia, UK chinatown.... emmm... seems like u 've just unlocked the whole world... in a business sense.. :)

Answer 6

if you want to go and live in those countries then chose either, but i would suggest a language such as spanish.
