Korean grammar is much more similar to Japanese, but there are a lot of words with Chinese roots in Korean.

Your question doesn't really make any sense.

And from what I know most koreans learn english or japanese as a 2nd language.

The korean language's grammar is similar to japanese , and about 50% of korean words consists of chinese root words.

No, not similar at all.
But do use a lot if loan words from Hanja which will sound similar to Chinese or Japanese.
But language is totally different/
