The similarity between Japanese and Korean language 日本語と韓国語で似た言葉  I started studying Korean language at the head of this month and so far I have learnt the most of Korean letters(Hangul).  Though it is hard for me to learn Hangul since they look like code or something to me, it is really interesting that many Korean words have the same pronunciations as Japanese ones. Let me introduce some; ex. 1 Baseball Korean…야구 ( yagyu ) Japanese…野球（ yakyu ) ex. 2 For free Korean…무료 ( muryo ) Japanese…無料（ muryou )  There are still lots of similar examples.  By the way, my iPhone has an autocorrect function and he does not give me a chance to learn spelling...it is so convenient and spoils me at the same time.
