In this episode, we will do two things:

• Learn how to count from 1 through 5 in Korean (with a song :)
• Practice using the numbers in a conversation (You should be able to understand ALL the sentences in the conversation because they’re based on lessons from previous episodes.)

You can consider it a comprehensive review of the content we’ve gone over thus far. If you have a hard time following the conversation, know that you can always go back to previous episodes for review. When it comes to learning a new language in particular, review is always, always good!
Happy learning, everyone!
