Lesson 10 Numbers and Counting

LET'S LEARN BASICS OF KOREAN LANGUAGE!

In Korean there are two sets of numbers which are used when counting, the first set are known as pure Korean numbers, and the other are Sino-korean which is based on the chinese numerals.
The use of these numbers depends on the context in which it is used, for example the pure korean numbers are used when counting hours, and the sino korean when used to count minutes.

Chapter 10: nim means big in korean(means great when used after nouns). It is used to praise and cherish people but very politely

Chapter 7: I was taking a Korean Language Classes from a Korean Teacher and it is not as simple as learning English. Different vowels and consonants plus the double and aspirated sounds are really difficult to pronounce precisely. Not to mention the levels of honorifics. I somewhat think if you're a fluent Chinese Language Speaker it's a good head-start. But my teacher said," Great time, devotion, determinant and bravery is needed to master the language. It's not a short term thing to be done."
