Korean Numbers and Counters

Start with native numbers

Begin with the flashcards on basic Korean numbers. They pair Korean words with written numbers and include romanized forms. Look at each card, try to recall its match, then check the answer. Return to the cards that need more practice before moving on.

Native Korean Number System is a useful next step. It includes native number words and alternative forms such as 하나/한 and 둘/두. You can compare these forms as you work through the deck.

Explore Sino-Korean numbers

After practicing native numbers, try Numbers in Sino-Korean. It pairs written numbers with Korean forms and includes examples beyond the basic sequence. Work through a few cards at a time, then return to earlier cards to check what you remember.

The deck called Numbers brings Sino-Korean and pure Korean numbers together. Use it to compare the forms you have met in the separate decks. Notice which words belong to each set rather than trying to memorize both sets at once.

Practice counters

Korean Counters pairs categories with counter words. Its cards cover ordinary objects, animals, people, pairs, sets, books, flat objects and cups. Try recalling the counter for a category before checking the card. You can also work in the other direction: look at a counter and recall its category.

Use the section within the unit

Korean Numbers and Counters is a section of the Numbers and Counting unit in Other languages (Catalan, Galician, Basque, Romanian, Asian...). Its decks give you different ways to practice number words and counters within that unit. This page lists flashcards rather than quizzes or mind maps, so you can use the cards themselves for a self-check.

Choose a deck and return to the cards you want to practice again.
