On the second week, I reviewed the number and currency in Korean because I would transfer in Korea when I get back to China. I think it is really important to remember how to read and speak numbers since I need to ask people for help and pay for food in the airport. So, I reviewed Sino-korean which was derived from Chinese characters.
1- 일 2- 이 3- 삼 4- 사 5- 오 6- 육 7- 칠 8- 팔 9- 구 10- 십
Sino Korean is usually used for dates, money, time (minutes and second), addresses, and numbers over 100, and for measures, age(세). I am really familiar with Sino Korean numbers because it sounds like Chinese.
And then I also reviewed Korean numbers. 1- 하나/한 2- 둘/두 3- 셋/세 4- 넷/네 5- 다섯
6- 여섯 7- 일곱 8- 여덟 9- 아홉 10- 열. Korean numbers are usually used for age(살), number of times something occurs, for counters such as ~번(째),counters for counting objects (~명, ~마리, ~권) . Korean numbers are little bit hard for me to remember because the counters are different for each multiples of 10s. 20- 스물 30- 서른 40- 마흔 50- 쉰 60- 예순 70- 일흔
80- 여든 90- 아흔. However, the counters change back to sino-korean again starting at 100. This is really hard to remember and really confusing. So I hope I can always remember this.
In order to help me understand how to pay in Korean currency, Jenna helped me review how to pay in Korean currency again.
Currency is counted in sino-korean and it is counted in 100, 500, 1000, 10000, 50000.
Korean currency is in 원 ($1= ₩1161.14)
100- 백
500- 오백
1000- 천
10000- 만
50000- 오만
Anything larger than 10000 is counted based on 만 until 억, like how American uses thousand to count until one million.
100,000- 십만
1,000,000- 백만
10,000,000- 천만
100,000,000- 억
1,000,000,000,000- 조
I also reviewed Date and Times because they are also important to review. Time and dates. But since I was really familiar with date and time. Jenna just gave me a simple test to help me review and enhance by pronouncing all the words below.
Time- 시간
Hour- 시(간)
Minute- 분
Use the korean counter for hour, and sino-korean for minutes and seconds
30 minutes= 30분= 반
A.M.= 오전
P.M.= 오후
Date- 날짜
