Sounds like 國家 said in Taiwanese.

소개하기 Self Intro

Here’s my fake business card (명함) to help with the exercise in the lesson I’m taking:

제 이름은 미아우브라운입니다. My name is meowbrown.
제 직업은 블로거입니다. My job is a blogger.
사무실 전화번호는 02-1824-7195입니다. (pronunciation: 공이에 일파리사에 치릴구오임니다. Office phone number is…
핸드폰 번호는 010-3379-9154입니다. (pronunciation: 공일공에 삼삼칠구에 구이로사입니다. Mobile number is…
이메일은 hello@meowbrown.com입니다. (@ 골뱅이, . 점 pronounced as 쩜) Email is…
주소는 서울시 종로구 광화문로 142입니다. Address is…

Question: Do Koreans really carry over the sound for phone numbers when they speak? I’m wondering whether the teacher is trying to make us practice the carry over pronunciation or is this normal in Korea 🤔 The reason I can’t ask the teacher is because it’s an online course, that’s a difference between having a 1:1 session.

Notes on Korean numbers

Zero: 공 vs 영

Most of the time, 공 is used.

영 is used for metrics, for example

영 degrees(도) Celcius
영 mm (밀리미터)

Pronunciation

16: 십육 (Pronounced as 심뉵)
Keep this pronunciation for 26, 36, and so on…
If I want to read 66 as six six, it is pronounced like: 융뉵
If I want to read 66 as six six but not in the beginning, for example 2966, it is pronounced like: 이구륭뉵
Phone numbers, the – is pronounced as 에
Bus numbers: for example 17 is 십질 (17) 번 (#) 버스 (bus)

Fun fact about the bus numbers in Taiwan, for 2 digit numbers we read it like seventeen (17), but if it’s three digit it becomes two zero six (206) not two hundred and six.
