I was not fluent in Spanish at all, but I was able to get by since I Committed myself, right at the beginning, to learn Spanish numbers. Learning and understanding numbers is a crucial skill, especially if you live in a foreign country. Let\u2019s learn how to count numbers in Korean today.<\/p>\n<p>Korean has two numerical systems. One is Sino Korean system and the other is native Korean system. Sino Korean system is used for dates, money, addresses, phone numbers, and minutes and seconds. The native Korean system is used for counting, ages, and for hours. Today, I am going to teach you how to count money using the Sino Korean system, and we will talk about how to express age using the native Korean system in a future blog post.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6465\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone post-item__attachment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/photos\/digits-counting-mathematics-4014181\/\" aria-label=\"Digits 4014181 1920\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6465\" class=\"wp-image-6465 size-full\"  alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/digits-4014181_1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/digits-4014181_1920.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/digits-4014181_1920-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/digits-4014181_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/digits-4014181_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/digits-4014181_1920-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by Pixabay<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Before we learn how to count money in Korean, let\u2019s review the basic Sino Korean system, which is based on Chinese characters. <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\uc77c (il : one)<\/li>\n<li>\uc774 (ee: two)<\/li>\n<li>\uc0bc (sahm: three)<\/li>\n<li>\uc0ac (sah: four)<\/li>\n<li>\uc624 (oh: five)<\/li>\n<li>\uc721 (yook: six)<\/li>\n<li>\uce60 (chil: seven)<\/li>\n<li>\ud314 (pahl: eight)<\/li>\n<li>\uad6c (goo: nine)<\/li>\n<li>\uc2ed (sip: ten)<\/li>\n<li>\ubc31 (baek: hundred)<\/li>\n<li>\ucc9c (cheon: thousand)<\/li>\n<li>\ub9cc (mahn: ten thousand)<\/li>\n<li>\uc2ed\ub9cc (sip-mahn :a hundred thousand)<\/li>\n<li>\ubc31\ub9cc (bake-mahn : a million)<\/li>\n<li>\ucc9c\ub9cc (cheon-mahn: ten million)<\/li>\n<li>\uc77c\uc5b5 (il-uk: a hundered million)<\/li>\n<li>\uc2ed\uc5b5 (sip-uk : a billion)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s take a closer look at how to count more than two digits of numbers in the Sino Korean system.
