Is it a good idea to learn Korean?
I am deciding between buying a game to learn Russian, Korean or German.
Russian because I talk to the mod community of some games and because they are either bros or cringe incarnate with-in that community, and I never miss the opportunity for snark.

German because my brother speaks fluent German and I am starting to kinda understand the language.

Korean is interesting but I am hard of hearing and "eu" sounds for me are difficult, reason I never really liked speaking French, saying water is impossible but it seems Korean is ALL "eu, ou" and other soft sounding sounds. Spanish for example has very hard spoken vocals, so it is simple speak.
E is EEE A is AAA, I is Eeeiiiii, you get the idea...
Korean vocals like ㅓ are difficult to me but I never shy away from a challenge.

Now I have no real use for German nor Korean in this point in my life. I don't know if I would be visiting but learning new languages can be fun but I am not sure what I would be using it for in the end. So you know, if you have learned a new language, how has that worked for you?

up to you. German is a Germanic language and so is English so I'd imagine it would be the easiest, and you also have someone to speak to in. Russian is a fun language and is a East-Slavic language so it would be harder but probably useful and fun. Korean would be fun to learn but probably the hardest.

ㅓ is like ㅗ but your mouth is open wider, kind of like the o in pond (in American accent)

ㅐㅔ sound the same, used to be different but not anymore I believe.

ㅡ is like oo in food

ㅜ like the u in sun. (in British accent)

Korean grammar is 70% similar to Japanese, and many words use Chinese derived characters as their root, so it might make other Asian languages easier if that's a path you're curious about.

German and Russian have inflections in their grammar which make them hell to learn imo.. They all have their charms though in my opinion. Depends what appeals to you most

I’ve studied a handful of asian languages but korean is one that I have yet to touch. From my understanding it is said that is easier to learn that mandarin chinese.

learn whatever you language you want. but also keep in mind that learning some languages will not be so useful in your current environment.

okay; korea has become a seat of sinosupremacist thought. it has a great deal of power despite its position.

in a korean-dominated future, foreigners who know korean will be valued lower than ones who do not. it's been a target goal for centuries, and current circumstances have grown and developed at the behest of such interests.

No. It's a well known place with lots of workers.

It as well has one of the most intense competition for employment.

South Korea is one of the most affluent countries in the world, though as media like Squid Game and Parasite portray, the wealth disparity and poverty gap are even worse than in the US.

Much like Mandarin and Taiwanese, Korean will dominate international trade and business in the future.

Coming from English, German is going to be the easiest. Both are European languages sharing the same letters. I wouldn't consider those others unless you actually want to move to those areas.
