As a speaker of all of these languages I think Japanese is the hardest of them all. Korean has the simplest alphabet, Chinese characters are the hardest but the Japanese use them too. Pronunciationwise Japanese is the easiest though and the hardest is Chinese with its tones. Grammarwise Chinese is the easiest and Korean and Japanese are the same. If you know Japanese Chinese and Korean is easier to learn but especially Japanese and Korean are close sharing both grammar and vocabulary. Korean has the easiest writing system that you can learn in about 10 minutes btw.

As a Japanese, I didn't have much trouble learning Korean, and within three months, I was able to pick it up reasonably well. However, Chinese uses the same Chinese characters, so the meaning is somewhat understandable, but the problem with Chinese is the pronunciation. Pronunciation is too difficult, and maybe it is just me, but Chinese pronunciation and vocalization are a bit embarrassing and difficult for a Japanese person like me.

I am one of those people who deeply love the three languages, thank you so much. I have some knowledge of aquired Korean language and I am making regular effort to understand more Korean. I have also started learning a few Chinese words. For the moment I dare not try learning Japanese, yet I believe I am going to aquire from my favorite Japanese movies. I don't actually dare to think of knowing the languages to the extent I would like to, because I know each and every of my three favourite languages have great depths, carry a lot of wisdom and knowledge and have their distinct personalityes. Each of my three favourite languages can be a passion for life long learning in itself.

As a native English speaker, I've studied both Korean and Chinese. Korean is easier to get started because of its phonetic script (5/10), but is harder after the first stage becuase of its more complex grammar (8/10). Chinese is very difficult to get started (recognising characters 11/10), and gets easier afterwards, until it is about the same difficulty as Korean (8/10).

As a Japanese adult, I usually can imagine meanings roughly when I read Chinese language.
And when I see Korean language, it becomes more difficult to imagine/understand
meanings as Korean letters look completely different from ours.
But a funny phenomenon is there that when it comes to learn those 2 languages,
we tend to need lesser time to learn Korean than Chinese.
I don't know why, but I assume many Japanese people have experienced that.

As a Turkish, I can say that Korean has almost the same grammar as Turkish. Learning Chinese makes me feel good because it shows how much I can push my limits. Chinese is a very interesting language and I hope I can learn it and talk to you soon. I continue to learn Chinese , Please continue to keep us informed.❤我们爱中国.대한민국 만세. 日本が大好きです

Thank you so much for making this video. This question has been on my mind for the longest time lol.
Due to the education system, English is my first language and Chinese my second language. I am studying Japanese now and at times I question myself if I should have studied Korean instead. Let me gain fluency in Japanese first and then I will tackle Korean next 😄
Keep up the good work, Zoe. It offers a different perspective compared with others. Not saying that others aren't good but the contents are different so there is always something new to glean from.

Chinese is super hard in the beginning but get easier later, Japnese seems the opposite. One thing very interesting is, each character in Chinese are similar to the "root word" in English. The number of commonly used chinese characters are 3000-5000, once you memorize them, you can basically guess the meaning of all the words you meet. Also, the reading speed of chinese reader is suuuper fast since chinese sentence is very informative comparing to other languages
