I would argue that Cyrillic is still easier then Korean.
Similar amount of characters, some have similar pronunciation. So you might recognize a word even if you don't know the whole alphabet. (CCCP is somewhat known as an example)
Besides, if you know the Greek alphabet (I guess many people here do), Cyrillic is not that far away.
- emodendroket 9y agoTechnically Korean characters are composed of smaller elements that have pronunciations, so for learning purposes you can essentially act like it is an alphabet. The biggest challenge is distinguishing between consonants that sound the same to English-speaking ears... but the writing system can't help you with that.
