Korean numbers
Korean counts in two systems at once, one borrowed from Chinese and one native, and uses both in the same phrase to tell the time. Twenty days on the two sets, money, time and dates, ages, counters, phone numbers and the very big numbers, where Korean groups by ten thousand.
Days 1 to 3 are open now, free and with no account. All 20 days are written; days 4 to 20 will be part of the paid plans, which are not open yet. About 12 minutes a day. After the Hangul course.
A day is marked done when you pass its quiz at the end: get 5 of its 8 questions right.
