As a native Korean speaker this is an apt analogy, even more so because it won't help much initially but will help a lot once you've got to the later stage of learning. This is of course a valid strategy if you want to eventually learn both Chinese and Korean.
- stanrivers 6y agoYes - you should learned the language that has meaning to your life. If you don’t have a reason to use the language you will forget it all. And agreed - once you get into more “college level or technical” Korean for lack of a better word, knowing the hanja/ Chinese characters makes vocab acquisition easier.
