Japanese and Korean

#1

Hello I probably sound stupid, but how do they communicate? Are japanese and korean similar enough? Like on DFM there's Koreans and Japanese on the team

did you ever consider the possibility of the players learning the other language? at least just the basics to communicate in-game?

and no, the languages are not mutually intelligible

Bro what are you talking about. There hasn't been a single Japanese player in the entire history of Korea Challengers, even counting First Strike days.

No Koreans on Zeta, but on DFM which is mixed, the Koreans on that roster have simply learned how to speak Japanese. This is because they have been playing in tier 2 japan for a while.

korean and japanese have very similar sentence structure / grammar. as well as some similar sounding words because of chinese roots

not similar enough for a korean and japanese to understand each other but enough that learning is relatively easy

i've been learning japanese as a korean-american (native fluency in both) for 4 years-ish, and there's a lot of borrowed words in respective cultures which made the transition easy.

I also have a background in hanja/hanzi because I took Chinese for about a year when I was younger so I also think this helped with kanji. hiragana and katakana only took around 2-3 days to fully master.

its gonna be a worldwide language
I have a lot of Chinese friends (both locally and online)
I love Chinese food
I love the Chinese characters and how each is symbolistic of different definitions

parents didn't force me, I just wanted to see the basics of the language at a Chinese weekend school!

1) the Koreans learned Japanese
2) English speaking roster
3) the Koreans are good enough to warrant minimal communication (sort of like vookashu not knowing any Chinese and still being on a Chinese team)

The good mixed rosters you see making progress in JP tier 2 has 1 thing in common. The kr players speak fluent japanese.

Japanese has many words originated from english and chinese, same with korean but more words originated from chinese or similar.
Or simply they can communicate through english bc japanses and korean arent really similar
Or Korean players can learn japanese callouts

I wanted to mention that the languages are very similar. You wouldn't be able to understand Korean or Japanese just on its own, but they have similar grammar, and a lot of the words in both languages come from Chinese characters, so the sounds will be similar. If you can learn Japanese, Chinese, or Korean, it makes it a lot easier to learn the others.
