The problem with reading for me is that in many cases, I can't understand what is written. I can read the language with ease. I just do not know many common vocabulary words that can make it difficult to understand the context of what is being said. This can be discouraging for me. However, I am not that disabled in being to understand what I read. If it isn't too difficult of a reading, I can understand by putting together the words I do know and infer what is being stated. I can do basic writing in Korean, but there are often cases where I get the grammar wrong or the spelling is completely off. There are some specific Korean characters that can be very tricky because they sound exactly the same, but are completely different in what word it produces. Overall, the main problem for me is that I just do not enough Korean words and that can cause a hindrance to reading and writing.
