These are the Sino-Korean numbers:

일 - one
이 - two
삼 - three
사 - four
오 - five
육 - six
칠 - seven
팔 - eight
구 - nine
십 - ten
백 - one hundred
천 - one thousand
만 - ten thousand

With only those numbers, you can create any number from 1 – 10 million. All you need to do is put them together:

일 - one (1)
십 - ten (10)
십일 - eleven (10 + 1)
이십 - twenty (2 x 10)
이십일 - twenty one (2 x 10 + 1)
이십이 - twenty two (2 x 10 + 2)
백 - one hundred (100)
백일 - one hundred and one (100 + 1)
백이 - one hundred and two (100 + 2)
백구십 - one hundred ninety (100 + 90)
구백 - nine hundred (9 x 100)
천 - one thousand (1000)
천구백 - 1900
오천 - 5000
오천육백 - 5600
만 - ten thousand
십만 - one hundred thousand
백만 - one million
천만 - ten million

The Sino-Korean numbers are used in limited situations. As each of these are taught, you will slowly learn when to use the Sino-Korean numbers over the Korean numbers. For now, don't worry about memorizing when they should be used, as it will come naturally.

– When counting/dealing with money
– When measuring
– When doing math
– In phone-numbers
– When talking about/counting time in any way except the hour
