Korea’s Two Number Systems Explained
10,142
Published 2023-03-18
I talked about the possibility of a tutorial teaching Korean numbers at the end of my "How to Read Korean in 20 Minutes" video. I'm following up on that four years later, and I think I did a good job recreating the minimalistic elements. I wouldn't consider this a sequel to that video, though, as I have other plans for a sequel. Coincidentally, this video is going up on the same day as the 8-year anniversary for my channel.
Also... apparently, some professors wrote a paper about Korean numbers...? It's here if you want to check it out, but it's all in Korean (koreascience.kr/article/CFKO200229013527269.pdf). I found this after I completed the video, but I thought that the fact that a paper on numbers existed was interesting.

As a Korean, I never realised I used such complicated linguistics to Korean learners

Dude has a special talent for teaching

Thank you for these teaching videos! They’re very helpful! Do you think you’d be willing to do a part 2 of how to read and pronounce Korean? If you could talk about any other rules that you didn’t mention in the first video like when siot is pronounced s and when it’s pronounced sh? I’ve also noticed when learning Korean that sometimes the bottom consonant carries over to the next syllable like isseoyo (sorry I’m typing on my tablet and idk how to use the Korean keyboard on it)

Please do more videos teaching us Korean. Your videos are great.

could you be aggresive to duolingo again?

In my martial arts academy, we already use some of these forms of Korean numbers. For example, we use cardinal numbers to count off when we're lining up, as well as during some warm-up exercises. With the introduction of the World Taekwondo Federation-style(yes, that is commonly abbreviated as "the WTF-style") curriculum, we also use nominal numbers to discern which of the 8 태극 forms are assigned to which belt ranks- so, 태극 일장, 태극 이장, 태극 삼장, and so on up to 태극 팔장.

THAT, was ALOT of info in one setting :O but if I watch it in sections (and get my note pad)...I think this will be helpful)

I’d love to see a video about very basic sentence structure in Hangeul, related to how in your Duolingo videos you’ve talked about how pronouns basically don’t matter, and you can say words in almost any order, but the verb should be at the end, unlike English which has a very defined sentence structure (but also, of course, it has so many exceptions 🙃). I appreciate that your videos start out with a zoomed out overview and you give a lot of prep and background to the material and then go into detail, and then you still go back and review and relate the concepts to each other. Thank you for making this!

Korean is a great and fun language to learn.I wonder how all the alphabets resemble the way of their pronunciation and how their name starts and finishes with that exact alphabet,awesome.But there are some hurdles as well,my friends say that I am so into Korean that even my English pronunciation is also being like a korean😂 and I noticed it's true.

7:37 The closest thing to 만 in English would be "myriad", but this use is extremely archaic in the West (the last time that was used in the West was in Ancient Greece lol)

it's really helpful, coz you explained the logic of putting numbers into daily usage, thank a lot for both korean teaching video, i really need the explanation for it's logic for learning anything, and this is not what i usually got while learning languages, and you did so well in explaining logic in both teaching videos!!! and i love that you have a tendency of talking so fast, and memorizing the 3.14.... as well, these details helps a lot for staying focus while watching. i did feel like a hour was gone while i watch your both videos. i am so happy i can came across your video, coz you explain logic so well, very systematic and with lively application. hope you would have time to make more video soon, i really need some help to understand how different is the logic for korean in writing and daily conversation!!!

9:56 I never hear these numbers except if you want to be an astrophysicist lmao...so yeah Im good. I feel like learning numbers in other languages, you need to develop your math skills as well because in technically, you do the same thing in English when you add the ones when you're under 20, but they don't teach it like that.
