In Chinese, we say "skincare products" as "保養品 Bǎo yǎng pǐn"; while in Korean, skincare products may be referred to as "基礎化妝品 Jī chǔ huà zhuān gpǐn
". When you learn languages other than Chinese in Asia, such as Korean and Japanese, you may sometimes find similarities between two Asian languages.
This can lead to a feeling of "one less word to memorize, gained something extra," which is quite satisfying.
It indicates a certain level of familiarity with one of the languages, resulting in this sense of accomplishment.
However, the second foreign language can either be a "boost" or a "hindrance."
It may facilitate learning a third foreign language, or it may keep you confined within the framework of the second foreign language.
Therefore, when encountering this phenomenon, it's important to carefully distinguish between the two languages and remember their differences clearly.
This will prevent confusion in the future.
