In Korean it's not so bad: 한, 둘, 셋, 넷. Or 일, 이, 삼, 사. Yes there are two different types of numbers...
the latter set is just the same chinese characters spelled out phonetically
i feel like most people nowadays are getting lazy and just using the chinese numbers more and more instead of learning a new word for each new ten (twenty thirty forty etc)
Thats good to hear, I made a lot of mistakes of using the wrong numbers for times or dates.
unfortunately hours (not minutes) ages and number of days/months (not years) are still korean numbers not chinese
but i guess you can always just say the year of birth and spell out the date instead both of which would be chinese... haha languages are weird
