Learning to read and write Korean has been quite a rough experience for me. It is relatively simple to learn the Korean alphabet as compared to learning Mandarin, however it requires consistency and practice to really be good at it. I haven’t been putting enough effort to practice reading and writing in Korean just because I never felt the need to. Some of the vowels sound similar, especially when they are combined to form another sound. It really frustrates me because I rarely use the words that require those vowel combinations. And also, the Korean grammar is different than English whereas the verb comes last. Therefore, it has been quite a struggle to construct sentences.
