More About Korean Numbers (the two types)

I have had a few questions about Korean numbers and the two types. So here is an explanation for those who are confused. :) 

In South Korea they use two types of numbers. The Sino-Korean numbers (the ones that are in my book chapter 3) and the native-Korean numbers "hana dul set..."

here is when to use native-Korean numbers: Hours (for both telling time and duration)AgeMonths (only for duration)Number of locations, people, types

and here is when to use sino-Korean numbers: Minutes (for both telling time and duration)Months (only for dates)Years (for both telling time and duration)Money/currencyMeasurementsNumerals themselves in phone numbers, the number of a question on a test, etc..

I hope that explained the difference :)
