We are always surrounded by objects, people, animals and many other stuff, and more often than not, we get to COUNT them. Korean has a different kind of counting system from that of English, so let’s learn how to count things (and people) in Korean. In Korean there are hundreds of counters or counting units, but the two words that are most frequently used are 개 and 명. Let us find out how to use them in context and also learn a few other counters. Thank you for studying with us and please feel free to leave us comments and questions!!
You can download a free PDF for this lesson here, or if you want to study with our TalkToMeInKorean textbooks, you can get them here. And after you learn the basics, try writing your own Korean sentences and get corrections from native speakers through HaruKorean, our 1:1 correction service.

한국 친구 있고 싶어~~ 제발!!!

지감 하나도 진구 없어요. 가레도 내가 의지… 곧 ( I hope what i have written is clear. I want it to mean ” not even one friend have i got yet.. Even though soon I will make some )
Is this right? I have one half-Korean friend. 반 한국 친구 한 명 있어요. I don’t want it to sound like I have half of a Korean friend! Maybe I should use a particle? Should it be 반 한국는 친구 명 있어요.
If you are saying, I have one book, can you just say 한 권 있어요, without using the word 책? Could I use the word or drop it whenever I want?
저는 한국어 친구 두명 있어요 ! I hope I’m good at this one :3
