    Default Hangul or Cyrillic: which alphabet is harder?

    Which one is harder? I've learned the korean alphabet (hangeul) like 3 years for this project i was doing. I'm now interested in learning Cyrillic (and eventually Russian- I'm of central asian descent and the language is just too important to not know there). For me the Korean alphabet wasn't too hard to learn. It took me quite some time to be able to fluently read but now it's really easy. What about cyrillic? Is it easier than the Korean alphabet which is deemed one of the easiest alphabets in the world? Would i be able to learn it quickly?

    I would assume Hangul.

    But I'm not a linguist. Just a guy with a few bucks in his back pocket and a lot of heart.

    I hear that hangul is more eassy (Curiosly hangul is used in aymara lenguaje), the cyrilic is similar to latin and greek alphabet

    One will not need more than 7 days to learn Cyrillic alphabet, if already knows Greek or Latin alphabet.

    I think I did the basics of Cyrillic alphabet in an afternoon at age 12, then it took practice - and till does.
    Hangul must be way harder.
