Well AFAIK, Japanese is the only other language that has both a native writing system and Chinese character writing system, so that's why I brought up Japanese.

I should also confess, my brain is hardwired a little differently than most people, so its a little harder for me to relate to other people. Like I said, this is from my own experience. I'm pretty good at remembering things I learn, so I guess that helps.

Also, its important to know the audience I'm speaking to. I'm assuming most people here are native English speakers learning Korean. However, If I were to ask people in, say, China or Japan, I'm fairly certain most people would agree with me.

However, like another redditor on here has said, only time will tell. For all we know, Hanja could be completely eradicated, it could return to everyday use, who knows. Language predictions don't always go the way we expect.

Overall thought, I'm glad to have had this conversation. Thank you for being intellectual and polite. Like I said, if you disagree with my opinion, that's perfectly fine. However, it seems a lot of people on this thread need a quick refresher on reddiquette (people, downvotes are for IRRELEVANT POSTS, NOT UNPOPULAR ONES), some more than others (ahem, /r/moonlandings).
