Korean Time Practice
Hours (native 시) + minutes (Sino 분) together: 세 시 십오 분
How Korean clock time combines two number systems
Korean clock time mixes the two number systems in one expression. Hours use native Korean + 시, while minutes use Sino-Korean + 분: 세 시 십오 분 means 3:15.
Practice the hour and minute chunks separately first, then combine them. This is one of the most useful places to make the native-versus-Sino distinction automatic.
