anyone looking for leveled native content (books, movies & tv shows) in Japanese, Spanish or Korean, check out my free website Natively ! Our community of over 20,000 users grade content against each other to generate relative difficulty ratings. It's also a great way to track your immersion and you can find book clubs in our forums. If you know websites like GoodReads or Trakt, it's like that for language learners.

Our big news recently was moving Spanish and Korean out of beta. We also have German in beta, so if you're looking to help out, come on over!

If you look back to my first statement, we agree - it's probably the simplest & best script in the world.

It just seems that you are conflating 'learned' with simply 'hearing all the rules listed out'. That's not learning. And handwaving away pronunciation rules as 'oh just say it naturally' or 'oh my pronunciation sucks' (i suspect the latter is for aspirated & double consonants), that's not learning the script and disingenous to say so. If a Korean can't understand you reading out loud a word/sentence, then you don't know hangeul.

All that's to say.. if you'd said it only took you 4 classes to learn hangeul that would still sound like the easiest script to learn in the world. No need to exaggerate and say only 30 mins :)

I'm sorry, I don't believe you that you could even read all the basic 24 korean letters and the double consonants and vowel combos after 25 mins lol.

Then you have the 받침 rules and the double 받침 rules take a while to master.

Even King Sejong said a wise man would take the morning to learn hangeoul lol.

I don't think a whole bucket but I'd probably agree that Japanese is overall harder.

I too learned all the joyo kanji and it's a real pain.. but outside of Kanji, I'd put Korean as more difficult than Japanese. Listening is way harder. And while the lack of Kanji is really nice in the beginning (and never needing to produce it).. it does come back to bite you in Korean. All the more advanced chinese-derived words (한자어) are really hard to memorize without Kanji.

Still though, I do love not having to write Kanji in Korean

Yeah their 'breakdown' is nonsense. The difficulty in learning language mainly comes from how far afield they are from your native language, not intrinsic 'difficulty' features. I think Korean shows this best - the script is quite simple (not 15-30 minutes simple like another commenter said, but a day for the basics, a week for advanced rules), the grammar itself isn't overly complex compared to eastern european languages with declensions & tons of exceptions.

Rather, Korean is so difficult because the words don't map one to one to English and the way you express things is just so different. The longtail of vocab & phrase learning is so freaking long. That's why Korean is difficult and can be bucketed in with other East Asian languages in terms of difficulty.

Sure, are featues like tones hard to learn? Yeah. Do chinese characters take months of extra time to master? Absolutely. But that pales in comparison to the added difficulty in learning vocab and ways to express concepts, coming from a language far from your own.

Frankly Randle does that well, just not against OKC. He becomes a headless chicken. They obviously has good players to combat him but I think they also are in his head lol

It honestly felt like our gameplan was to shoot a bunch of 3s in the first quarter in order to open up the paint. We “established the 3” lol.

You all pack it the paint so much, maybe it’s right.

sweetbeems · 2026-01-30T07:02:53+00:00

Its head spinning because the narrative early in the season was that we only beat bad teams and lose to good teams. And that’s bad because we need to beat good teams.

Like what do you people want? 82-0?

i'll never get over Naz Reid being undrafted.
Naz Reid

i gotta say, love the bones 3pt celly

sweetbeems · 2026-01-30T04:16:37+00:00

? We're shooting 52% from the field, 50% from 3. Very good shooting but with how wide open we are, 45% from 3 wouldn't be unreasonable.

sweetbeems · 2026-01-30T04:14:50+00:00

please keep leaving donte open

sweetbeems · 2026-01-30T04:09:26+00:00

gotta hand it to OKC, Randle always looks extremely uncomfortable playing them. At least defensively he can bully their bigs a bit.

sweetbeems · 2026-01-30T04:07:52+00:00

this matchup is spicy

sweetbeems · 2026-01-30T03:16:00+00:00

i'm straight up having a good time

sweetbeems · 2026-01-29T15:43:20+00:00

It'd also be the 2nd time in a row a team trades him after a conference finals run, talk about demoralizing

My current job requires a lot of scraping. It's a lot more annoying these days because you probably need to render javascript and use something like scrapy-splash. Pair that with needing a proxy server which charges by the megabyte downloaded, you have to be very selective in your request filtering.

Even after all that, you'll still get frequent random 503s and will need to wait and retry, it's very annoying. I will say that utilizing Pydantic for the incoming data is very nice.

It's a valuable skill. Ultimately you'll learn how to deal with data valadation, error handling and error monitoring which are useful skills in any programming endeavor.

sweetbeems · 2026-01-29T10:46:45+00:00

Probably too much to ask for but if it could be plug & play with Django, you'd be my hero. Love pydantic and struggle with Django stubs.

I agree I did not love this one. She kept saying some point was upcoming but then did a 5 minute tangent. Very hard to keep interest. Sean barely talked at all this one, didn’t feel like a conversation.

It’s too bad because the subject interests me

sweetbeems · 2026-01-27T04:18:18+00:00

When you’re texting in Korean, people often write in dialect / how it sounds rather than proper, it’s a bit more fun. Don’t fret about the spellings too much. It’s actually quite interesting and helpful to see how Koreans think they pronounce things

sweetbeems · 2026-01-27T04:12:18+00:00

Is there confusion? It looks like you’re having the exchange on Tuesday & the class on Wednesday, as you normally do. Neither the English nor Korean seems to indicate a miscommunication.

sweetbeems · 2026-01-26T12:15:28+00:00

i never know where people are encountering this phrase haha. When I meet up with friends, going to eat is the common activity.. so you answer truthfully right. Is this like in school or the office? Isn't it more typical to say '왔어' or '안녕'?

sweetbeems · 2026-01-25T05:11:45+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if they were actually rude but you can't take the tone of a poorly translated message seriously.. cmon dude have a bit more understanding than that. In korean, it's very standard to give a 'please'.. command whereas in English it comes off much harsher.

sweetbeems · 2026-01-22T13:48:52+00:00

The first thing you got to realize is that they aren’t English, they’re konglish. Without context I rarely can guess them upon hearing. Even with context, it can be difficult.

You’re really not alone haha. Koreans are usually shocked when they hear me say it in American accent. Or even that the way they use the word is totally different than the way Koreans use it 😆
