Japanese, Korean, and Chinese?

I know a couple of people in various language classes, including Chinese and Korean. Based on what I know, it looks like there’s a significant amount of homework that comes with certain language classes, although I’m sure it depends on the level too.

I have a friend in a 300-level Korean course, for example, and all I ever see her do is her Korean homework, either memorizing vocabulary, learning how to write, or something like that. She’s not Korean either.

Another friend I have takes beginner Chinese, and that doesn’t sound too bad. Although you can bet on having tests pretty much every two weeks, if you put in the effort and are passionate about the language, you’ll be fine. But you really should be passionate about Chinese or Korean to some degree if you’re planning on taking a language course on them, since the vocabulary can be a pain if you couldn’t care less.
