It's quite hard, not gonna lie, but I'm glad it's not like roman numbers. Those people had to add and subtract just to write a number! And your video made me realize that number characters are universal. When did they spread so much?
You’re right... for Korea, Arabic numerals were most likely introduced by American missionaries in the late 1800’s! For the western world probably much much much earlier :)))
Cool! it happens the same in Japanese, the biggest unit under a million is a 만. Another thing is that an American billion (a thousand millions 1 000 000 000) is different from a European Billion (a million millions 1 000 000 000 000) that in American is a trillion. :S
I memorized its usage by independently remembering its place values hahaha like 0 - gong 10 - 십 100 - 백 1,000 - 천 10,000 - 만 100,000 - 십만 1,000,000 - 백만 10,000,000 - 천만 100,000,000 - 억 1 billion - 십억 and since there is no 만만, (obviously) I proceed to 억. So when I recite 1 billion, 5 million won, it's 십억 오백만원. and when it's 1.5 billion won, it could also be 15 sets of 100 million, so its 15 억. Hahahaha
I love your videos they're really original and not a repeat from others👍thank you!
The numbers? The whole language is confusing from my perspective !!😂😂
Lmao yes true !!
Came here to learn Korean, ended up with a Master's in accounting.

Thank u for these!! I was studying big korean number but i still didn't get how... Your video really explained it well~ I've subscribed!
Wow! This info is really really useful :) now I understand!! Thank you so much ♥️
Yeah. But I bet out number system is hard for people used to that one. It will deifinetly take forever to fully comprehend, memorize and get used to.
Small numbers confuse me too tbh.
Agnieszka Twardosz can’t deny that... why are Korean numbers so complicated 😩
So helpful
Thankyou for the explanation 👍👍수고하셨어요
Love these videos, thanks for making them!!! Do you think you could make a video about the ㅓ/ㅕ vowel? I feel like I'm can't pronounce it right...
OK I'll try to do more vowels once I finish up with consonants :D thanks for watching!!
고맙습니다!! 제 사장님은 한국사람이고 한국어를 배우고 싶어요. 영상들을 너무 좋아요

Woah that's interesting! I guess it's confusing when learning numbers in Europe too >_< Thanks for sharing :)
God. It is a hard thing to sink it in and for Americans yes
I memorized its usage by independently remembering its place values hahaha
like 0 - gong
10 - 십
100 - 백
1,000 - 천
10,000 - 만
100,000 - 십만
1,000,000 - 백만
10,000,000 - 천만
100,000,000 - 억
1 billion - 십억
and since there is no 만만, (obviously) I proceed to 억.
So when I recite 1 billion, 5 million won, it's 십억 오백만원. and when it's 1.5 billion won, it could also be 15 sets of 100 million, so its 15 억. Hahahaha
In my language 1000^3 is not a billion (which is 1000^4) but a miliard😀
Then you probably live in Europe.
In Spain we also say that 1000^4 is a billion
Din O Yap, you're right :)
