As a Korean who teaches Korean, I agree.
I never thought ์/๋ vs ์ด/๊ฐ was hard until I had to teach it. Native speakers just "feel" it. Explaining why is a different story.
Learners, which part of Korean surprised you by being harder than it looked?

I'm speaking as a linguist, but I worry there's going to be a perpetual problem with Korean second language education as long as Korean people still have this psychological trap of thinking the language is "easy" (it's not out of pure vanity, there really are a lot of traps)
What's hard in Korean depends on two things: where you are, and what language you started from. My Chinese students get stuck on particles. British students on Sino-Korean words. Japanese speakers on ๋ฐ์นจ. What felt easy at your stage, and what suddenly wasn't?
@tas3cdw That's a long time with one course. NHK's radio lessons are really well organized, so I can see why the rules felt smoother.
Do you still listen to it?
A student said exactly this to me once, so I looked it up in four languages.

Do people actually say these? And do you feel this way too?
์กด๋๋ง is the big group: all polite speech. ํด์์ฒด is one style inside it.
ํด์์ฒด: ๋จน์ด์. Polite, everyday.
ํฉ์ผ์ฒด: ๋จน์ต๋๋ค. More formal, like news or speeches.
The casual side is ๋ฐ๋ง: ๋จน์ด.
Start with ํด์์ฒด. It works almost everywhere.
