Counting Numbers in Korean Language:Another step to Learing Korean

Seeking to count the numbers in Korean. Well, it becomes a type of fun to count in Korean. I discovered the fact when I was in secondary level. I was boarded in a school and Korean national game: taekwondo  was taught there and listening that counting I felt it pretty much melodious, I don’t know why. But I never played taekwondo as I was already a gymnastic player.
