1. Korean:ย
Only used in Korea, and most probably the one you learn will be the South Korean one. It’s reading method is very clear though and very stable compared to other Asian languages.
1. Korean Musics spark your interest to know how to pronounce their lyrics.ย ๐

2. Japan:ย
Only used in Japan, and not much anywhere else. It has thousands characters and multiple characters that have multiple sound depending on the context.
1. Japanese Writing:
ย Vs.ย
Examples:
2. Japanese Pronunciation:
Has only 5 vowels and 14 consonant sounds.
5 vowels, OR 1 vowel+1 consonant.
Learn how to pronounce Japanese Hiragana, Katakana and ๆผขๅญย at:ย Introduction to Japanese Writing
Each syllable in Japanese is pronounced for the same length of time with equal stress.
Example: In English, you pronounce “America” by stressing “mer”
However, in Japan, you pronounce it as “America” with a same length of stress.
ย Vs.ย
3. Japanese Grammar:
To form a sentence using Japanese language, it is ALWAYS WITH THIS PRINCIPLE:
Compare to English, Subject-Verb-Object,
Japanese focuses “Topic” rather than object,
Meaning when they speak, they straight to the point “eat apple”, “open box”, “jump on bed” rather than mentioning who is doing all the actions.
These are some examples how they really “straight to the point” by emphasizing the “topic” rather than “subject or verb”.
(Object-Verb)
Additional educational info on forming a Japanese sentence:
Actually I think to learn Japanese deeply, you have to take step-by-step learning progress.
Consider TV & YouTube Videos designed for young children OR Lyrics for Japanese music, are the smart choices if you are able to persist it.

3. Spanish:ย
More useful if you live in US. There are a lot of Spanish speakers as well and more or less a bit similar to Portuguese.
If you plan on learning other languages, Spanish will help you learn Italian, French and maybe Latin.
1. Spanish Vowel Sounds:
The special pronunciation for only these 5 words:
“rr”, “au”, “ui”, “ei” and “ll”.
1. rr –ย Produce a rolled ‘r‘ sound! When you say the word โbutterโ quickly, the ‘tt’ sound is produced by flapping your tongue against the roof of your mouth, rather than a normal ‘t’ sound (like tree). So basically, roll your ‘R’ while speaking any Spanish words combining with 2Rs!
2. au – Pronounce it as “Ow”.
3. ei – Pronounce it as “Hey”.
4. ui – Know how to pronounce the “u” in the word “sue”? And the “i” in “bee”? So when “u” and “i” combine, ย we pronounce “ui” as “wee”.
5. ll – It’s a 2Ls, so you cannot pronounce it as “L” anymore, instead you pronounce it as “y”, just like how “young” and “yeast” works.

2. Learn numbers:
3. Memorize simple words!
4. Introduce yourself!

1. Practice using the four Mandarin tones.
- First tone is a high, flat tone. Your voice stays flat, with no rise or dip in the way it sounds. Using the word “ma” as an example, the first tone is indicated using the symbol above the letter a: “mฤ”.
- Second tone is a rising tone. Your voice rises from a low to middle pitch, as if you were asking someone to repeat something by saying “huh?” or “what?” The second tone is indicated using the symbol “mรก”.
- Third tone is a dipping tone.The pitch goes from middle to low to high, like when you say the letter “B”. When two third tone syllables are near each other, the second one retains its third tone sound while the first takes the sound of the second tone. The third tone is indicated using the symbol “mว”.
- Fourth tone is a lowering tone. The pitch goes rapidly from high to low, as if giving a command e.g. stop! Or as if you’re reading a book and have come across something new and interesting and are saying “huh”. The fourth tone is indicated using the symbol “mร ”.
2. Memorize simple vocabulary.
Some good vocabulary lists to start with includes: times of day (morning: zวo shร ng, afternoon: xiร wว, evening: wวn shร ng) body parts (head: tรณu, feet: jiวo, hands: shวu) food (beef: niรบ rรฒu, chicken: jฤซ, egg: jฤซ dร n, noodles: miร n tiรกo) along with colors, days, months, transport words, weather, etc.

- What is your surname (family name)? = nรญn guรฌ xรฌng, pronounced [neen gway shing]
- What’s your name? = nว jiร o shรฉn me mรญng zรฌ[1]
- Yes = shรฌ, pronounced [sh]
- No = bรบ shรฌ, pronounced [boo sh]
- Thank you = xiรจ xiรจ, pronounced [shie shie]
- You’re welcome = bรบ yรฒng xiรจ, pronounced [boo yong shee-e]
- Excuse me = duรฌ bu qว, pronounced [dway boo chee]
- I don’t understand = wว bรน dวng, pronounced [wuo boo downg]
- Goodbye = zร i jiร n, pronounced [zay jee-en]
3.ย Learn how to count.

Languages are meant to be “using”.
Start using it for something real and practical, then you will feel that the time you spend on “learning” it is worth it.
