Lets face it, if your native language is English , learning even the most basic numbers in Korean is no easy task.
At my Taekwondo School the master is Korean and is always changing between speaking in English and Korean. Sometimes he counts the steps of the forms in English and sometimes in Korean.
For someone like me who is, how shall I put it, language challenged, learning even the numbers 1 – 10 in Korean can be difficult especially when the pressure is put on you when the master asks you to count the steps of the form in Korean.
Therefore, I decided to write this post on how to count from 1 – 100 in English and Korean as both a way of re enforcing the numbers to myself as well as helping others who may be in my same situation or going through something similar.
I am just going to go 100 since I think this should be far more then you will need for any Taekwondo school. If you want to go beyond that I would suggest that you go to a more academic place to learn the language more completely or pick up a language book from places like Amazon
I added a video of how to verbally pronounce the numbers in Korean at the bottom. So with that out of the way lets get started:
