Too bad Korean is not written in mixed script (hanja + hangul) anymore. It is incredibly easy to understand texts and to focus on learning grammar rules once you have a signifiant Chinese character knowledge.

Not regularly but it is still mixed, particularly in literature. People still learn Hanja for benefit, albeit relatively minor.

I thought those were only used for street/place names, and sometimes business cards for family names?
