A rough reading aid, not exact pronunciation. Hyphens separate syllables. Listen first, then try with hints hidden. “eu” is said with unrounded lips; “uh” only approximates ㅓ. Doubled consonants are tense, not extra syllables. Do not add a vowel after a final consonant.
Six phrases you can use today
Korean uses two number systems. Native Korean numbers are common when counting things with a counter. Sino-Korean numbers are used for prices. This lesson practices one small part of each system, not every number.
Pronunciation guides are approximate. Focus on the Korean audio as you learn.
한 개 주세요
Sound hinthahn geh joo-seh-yoh
han gae juseyo
One item, please.
개 is a general counter for things. 하나 changes to 한 before this counter.
두 개 주세요

du gae juseyo
Two items, please.
둘 changes to 두 before 개.
세 개 주세요
Sound hintseh geh joo-seh-yoh

셋 changes to 세 before 개.
천 원이에요
Sound hintchuh nwuh-nee-eh-yoh
cheon wonieyo
It’s 1,000 won.
천 means one thousand. 원 is Korean won.
오천 원이에요
Sound hintoh-chuh nwuh-nee-eh-yoh
ocheon wonieyo
It’s 5,000 won.
오 means five in Sino-Korean numbers; 오천 is five thousand.
만 원이에요
Sound hintmah nwuh-nee-eh-yoh
man wonieyo
It’s 10,000 won.
만 means ten thousand. These are practice prices, not current product prices.
A real-life conversation
이거 한 개 주세요.
One of this, please.
네. 천 원이에요.
Sure. It’s 1,000 won.
카드로 할게요.
I’ll pay by card.
네, 감사합니다.
Okay, thank you.
Build a price in thousands
For prices, 일, 이, 삼, 사, 오 mean one through five. 천 is a thousand, so 이천 원 is 2,000 won, 삼천 원 is 3,000 won and 오천 원 is 5,000 won. Do not use 두천 for 2,000. If a price is hard to catch, look at the display or ask staff to show you.
Say it from the meaning
Say each phrase aloud before revealing it. This practice does not change your score.
Make yourself heard.
Listen once. Record yourself saying the phrase, then listen back.
두 개 주세요
Sound hintdoo geh joo-seh-yoh
du gae juseyo
