Korean is actually pretty easy.
Reading korean words is easy... from what I understand the grammar/speaking is roughly as tough as Japanese since they use particles in a similar way.

I found learning chinese to be waaaaaay easier than japanese. The grammar is pretty close to english (subject, verb, object) and unlike japanese, there aren't 2 or 3 ways to say each character. I can read a lot more chinese hanzi than japanese kanzi even though I studied japanese for more time.

Also, there are a LOT more than 3,000 characters.... try 20,000.... i think that 3,000 is the number for the most used ones. Where are you at school? Tech?
