A Faster Way to Learn Korean Numbers | Tutoring My Brother

With only half an hour, I taught my younger brother the Korean numbers. He learned how to count using both Sino-Korean numbers (일, 이, 삼) and Pure Korean numbers (하나, 둘, 셋). We also talked a bit about when and where each system is used, and some tricks for memorizing the numbers.

[@cherylschaeffer7832]

That helped a lot. Much better that just memorizing the numbers. 감사합니다

Please don't

[@FrankM]

Richie Rich all up in here! 1:16 "Why?" That's me as well about the two Korean number systems.

[@1mobetter99]

So then, age after 49 is using sino-korean number system?

[@seifaliesmael8832]

Must be a big change when you turn 50. "This is the day my age becomes chinese"

[@user-wz4dp3jb2z]

50 - 쉰 60 - 예순 70 - 일흔 80 - 여든 90 - 아흔 51살 = 쉰 한살 99살 = 아흔 아홉살 100 = 온 but usually use 백 (sino-korean) 132살 = 백 서른 두살

[@icysamurai1485]

That's how I understood it in the video, but one of my Korean friends said that they still use native Korean numbers even for ages 50+.

[@Juli_613]

This is my favorite series. Please keep teaching your brother lol It actually helps alot

[@Andy-sp2ke]

Fun Fact: in Choson Korea when a coronation was taking place korean officials shouted 천세 which literaly means 1000 years.만세 means 10,000 years and was used for the chinese emperors until 고종 made 대한제국 or in English the Korean Empire✨😆🇰🇷😉

[@pitoufo]

OMG.. you have made this so much easier. I've been teaching myself Korean for a year now (Pimsleur/Duolingo/Rosetta)and the numbers were confounding! Thank you. And as a former volleyball player...nuff respec'!!! I totally get it.

[@jasmiyah3555]

Taking Korean classes while on my student exchange in Seoul, you all are saving my life!

[@enesbenes2875]

Love your videos with your brother!!

[@AdamSweeneyMetaphysics]

Please make more videos with your brother...they are so funny and make learning the basics easy and fun!!

[@faebourne]

This was so helpful, I struggled a lot with learning the number systems and counting & this made it click so quickly!!!

[@ardiantanjung7246]

I hope this playlists can continue again.

[@oostys8118]

You two crack me up!😃. Are these going to be monthly videos? Would love to follow and keep up with the lessons😁. Cheers

[@GoBillyKorean]

We did 5 so far, and we'd like to do more once I film some new projects I'm currently working on.

[@easypeasykorean4926]

I loved the volleyball story so much hahaha. How did you even think about that? I could visualize it. Actually, when we memorize things, having a story is very helpful and effective. That's why we need to learn vocabulary through phrases and sentences!

[@Smailien]

He put that S together so fast haha. Lots of practice

[@kenzie5595]

This was informative and adorable lol. I love your bond

[@aline21o85]

We really like it when your brother come

[@MiuXiu]

I wish you would have had him try to say 18 lol

[@beckagrace7499]

You comment reminds me of the the Korean Englishman where they had the chef on.

[@AimHuangRajJaeWan]

😅 I get confused with the 2 number system in Korean. Sino and native, I was told only the native just like I hear them in movies when they are counting. Thanks Billy 🙏 😊

[@makeda6530]

One _more_ thing

[@joshuasohn301]

이 series은 너무 재미있었어요. 왜 없어요? 또 보고 싶어요.

[@Tzippi]

Amazing! I must learn the pure numbers from 1 to 10, and I am going to remember the volleyball story with Hana! Thank you!

[@LiviaKpop]

Next, time you should teach him family vocabulary. Like mother, sister, nephew. Oh! And then have him draw a family tree and write the family members' names in it. EXAMPLE: 엄마 --- 아빠 ↓ 언니/누나→남동생→여동생 I know it's not a good family tree, but I can't do very good with this keyboard. I'm sure you get the idea, though. I know he said that he likes to talk about his family, so maybe you could keep this in mind. (그리고 삘리가 대단한 선생님이에요!)

[@koreantutorskikigogo403]

You guys are like teenage-boys in this video. Laughing a lot, cracking jokes...So cute together! 2:22 wait, 7-질, 8-딸....?😂😜

[@GoBillyKorean]

I told him why "7" was wrong and laughed about that, but I edited it out of the video.

[@bisdakbisaya4385]

Thanks for teaching us❤️❤️

Oh shit that Stussy "S" brought back some awkward memories 😕

[@juanarosa4508]

I really enjoyed this video

[@Stellatale]

Yeah when I saw that movie before, "dad not found" part was really creepy to me. But it is good movie tho!

[@OfficiallyPhoebs]

I can barely handle the fact that you guys were mimicking Mr. Owl from the Tootsie Pop commercials!!! 😂🤣🦉 Also it's so amazing seeing Alex's progress, well done to the both of you!

[@Cyanide_no_aji]

OMG I NEED YOU FOR MY KOREAN LESSONS

[@carriewrich]

Billy, can you teach your brother how to say the time? Two number systems!

[@GoBillyKorean]

I did teach him that during this lesson (at the end), but I edited most of it out for time.

[@TifasaurusRex]

Okay stop everything! 😆 I’m two years late on this but I am laughing so hard at the Hannah volleyball story! …. annnnnd totally gonna use it! 🤣

[@TravelEndleslie]

Learning Korean is really fun

[@jamiebuechel]

When he drew that S, I snorted

[@qainstep1129]

Actually I was thinking that I heard those first three numbers in Korean drama in that when they were taking photos 3 2 1 😊😊😊😊😊

[@carriewrich]

If your brother has children, maybe some kid-related things

[@masterblack9400]

This episode definitely had the most 90s references. 😁

[@mvheart]

And now I know Billy and I are very close in age because we watched the same cartoons. LOL!!!

[@bluecandies]

hahaha can't wait for the counter lesson, that should be entertaining

Yes, that's correct.

[@diabolic42090]

I met a korean dude and told him my age with sino-korean numbers, he was totally cool about it lol

[@GoBillyKorean]

Everyone will be able to understand you, no problem :)

[@Cyanide_no_aji]

For phone numbers or anything in that nature would i just say the numbers 112 일-일-이? Or 백십이?

[@alejrandom6592]

yes

[@faithcarponelli3364]

@@alejrandom6592 I love how you just answered a "this or that?" question with yes.

[@Cyanide_no_aji]

Both?

[@GoBillyKorean]

You'd use Sino-Korean numbers, but sometimes the number 1 can be read 하나 (for clarity), and 0 can be 공.

If I accidentally use the wrong number system will it make a big difference?

[@GoBillyKorean]

They'll probably still understand what you were trying to say, but it will sound quite strange. Especially with 명 for counting people.

WHY?!!! (c) same =__= why Koreans need 2 systems? Also counting money in 만 is so confusing for european brain. 9:50 they will just know you suck at Korean (c) cryyyyying lol offtop: your brother looks like a more arabian version of you xD his eyes are so beautiful~

[@zrosix2240]

Why does korean have such an organized system and then all of a sudden they just throw 10,000 in there. You can’t just say 10 one thousands? Instead of saying 10 ten thousands you could just say 100 thousands. Or instead of saying 100 10,000s that’s when you could make the new number The system makes sense because 100 is 10 10s, so they make a new word. 1000 is 100 100s, so they make a new word. but 10,000 is only 10 1000s. Instead of the pattern of 1000 1000s. They break the pattern for no reason at 10,000😭
