30 = 삼십
50 = 오십
70 = 칠십
90 = 구십
100 = 백

108 = 백팔
120 = 백이십
150 = 백오십
200 = 이백
202 = 이백 이
468 = 사백 육십 팔 (사백 is 400, 육십 is 60, 팔 is 8)

18 = 열 여덟
20 = 스물
21 = 스물 하나
22 = 스물 둘
24 = 스물 넷
30 = 서른
40 = 마흔
50 = 쉰

Compare both Sino-Korean and Native Korean numeral system, Sino-Korean is easier to remember but both numeral system is important as you will study for future lesson. There are some pronunciation to take note, the word 셋, 넷, 다섯 all end with final consonant "ㅅ", the pronunciation should be end with "t" sound (셋 - set, 넷 - net, 다섯 - dasot)
Another pronunciation that should be take note is 여덟. Notice that 덟 end with final consonant "ㅂ" but the sound is ignore and therefore pronounce as "yodol - 여덟".
The END~
