This video covers counting in Korean, but not just your ordinary numbers. We're talking HUGE numbers, special exceptions, comparisons with different languages, and their use in everyday life, like math, fractions, decimals, currency, temperatures, dates, and time. In short, quite literally everything you need to know about Korean numbers explained in less than 28 minutes.

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 (https://koreascience.kr/article/CFKO2.... I found this after I completed the video, but I thought that the fact that a paper on numbers existed was interesting.
