Usually after 4 days, people just use sino korean number + 일Week ~ 주 (joo)
One week ~ 일주일 (il-joo-il)
2 weeks ~ 이주일 (ee-joo-il)
Sino korean number + 주Month ~ 월 (wol)
For month, it's very simple; sino korean number + wol

February ~ 이월 (ee-wol)
March ~ 삼월 (sam-wol)
April ~ 사월 (sa-wol)
May ~ 오월 (o-wol)

September ~ 구월 (goo-wol)
October ~ 시월 (shii-wol)
November ~ 십일월 (shib-il-wol)
December ~ 십이월 (shib-ee-wol)Why is it not 육월 and 십월? It's because it is hard to pronounce
Time ~ 시간 (shii-gan)
Hour is also 시간.
Native korean number + 시간 = how many hours2 hours ~ 두 시간
10 hours ~ 열 시간
24 hours ~ 스물네 시간
48 hours ~ 마흔여덟 시간 / 사십팔 시간Ok here is the weird part. A lot of people also use sino korean + 시간 to address time.There is no set rule to know when to use the sino korean.You just use it when you want it.
For me, I use sino korean after 39. So for 40, I say 사십 시간 (sa-shib-shii-gan) but some adults still use native korean numbers.So it depends on how people want to speak it.
People use sino because its easier to them.
But usually people use native until 12 hrs. Why? Cuz sino sounds weird.
Korean speaking is all about a better flow of speaking (basically, what is easier for you)Clock ~ 시계 (shii-gae)
A.M. ~ 오전 (o-jeon)
p.M. ~ 오후 (o-hoo)
Hour (for o' clock) ~ 시 (shii) Native + 시

3:50 ~ 세시 오십분
4:20 A.M. ~ 오전 네시 이십분
5:40 P.M. ~ 오후 다섯시 사십분15 seconds ~ 십오초
And so on.
*why is it 한시 and not 하나시?
I forgot to add it in the last chapter.. but when a measure word is put next to 하나, it becomes 한.
둘 becomes 두. 셋, 넷 becomes 세, 네.Year ~ 년 (nyeon)
Year 2015 ~ 이천십오년 (ee-chun-shib-o-nyeon)Btw the reason why I'm not writting the pronunciation for some is because we already learned it and I want you guys to recall (복습 ~ bok-seub) so you can remember it more.:)
