Yes, people in Nepal understand Hindi. Many reasons: the root is the same, the script is the same. Hindi films, film songs, TV serials and magazines are wildly popular in Nepal. The languages (Nepali and Hindi) share thousands of common words.

Hindi and Nepali are very similar to each other, but they have some differences. Hindi is spoken mainly in the Republic of India, and Nepali is the main language of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. Both Hindi and Nepali are Indo-Aryan languages. They follow the same script which is the Devanagari script.

Probably the easiest language to learn for a native hindi speaker is Nepali – easier than any other Indo-Aryan Language.

It’s the most common polite way to say hello. It can sometimes be used to say goodbye as well! However, “annyeong-haseo” is the romanization and isn’t actually the proper way to write the words!

We can say in many different way to say “What’s your name?” but the most formal expression is “이름이 뭐예요?” That’s not kind of humble expression but more casual 🙂 ‘이름’ which means “name” ‘이’ is like postpositional word. I think that’s not easily understandable for foreigners.

In early 2020 I began learning Korean in earnest. The short answer: Korean is not too difficult. But nor is Korean “easy”. On a difficulty scale, I’d say the difficulty of Korean is 4/5 or “Moderately Difficult” — harder to get to fluency for an English speaker than French or German, but easier than Chinese or Arabic.

Learning Korean takes a lot of time and a lot of studying, and pronunciation is not so easy. You may be able to learn a lot of grammar and vocab but you won’t learn enough of it and you definitely won’t be fluid in only 3 months. Especially if you haven’t learned any other languages.
