COUNTING IN KOREAN

Hi everyone. I am back, back to my blog and back to update my blog. So, I have something very interesting today. I wanted to open a blog for Korean but I said no, I would bring the fun here.

So, I am going to be talking about languages and today I would be teaching you how to count in Korean.

I love almost everything Korean and I am learning Korean as well. I am not a Professional Korean speaker but, I am trying. So, let me start by giving you a hint. When learning any language, be diligent, patient and be Result Oriented, this is the most important.

Now, like English has a counting system, so those Korean. I don’t wanna talk much so as to not bore you. So, I will go straight to the point.

Koreans use two different number systems: Korean and Sino-Korean, which originated from Chinese and has some in its characters. I would not be talking about Sino-Korean today, maybe some other time.

The table below shows us the English Counting System and the Korean Counting System. On your left is; Numbers in English and Numbers in Korean.

This table is a simplified way to enable beginners understand counting in Korean. I did not include the Hangul because I am not so good in Korean Hangul. I wrote it the way I was able to understand Counting in Korean. I hope it helps someone as it helped me. Feel free to leave your comments and contributions also corrections if needed. I would also talk about Amount in Korean and a few phrases in Korean. Bye for now, Kamsamnida.
