My friends in Korea taught me to count and it was totally different to this. Im confused.
There are two number systems. 일 이 삼 사 must be what you learned. Or your friends in Korea trolled you. 50/50
There's two ways to count numbers in Korean. One is the way using Chinese loan words, like 일, 이, 삼, 사 the another one is the way using pure Korean words, such as 하나, 둘, 셋, 넷
Do you speak the last a in 하나 bc I often hear that they pronounce 하나 like "ahn"
Some numbers, 하나, 둘, 셋, and 넷, and others, change to be 한, 두, 세, 네 when saying things like "One person" (한 사람) or "I am 2 years old" (저는 두 살이에요). Could that be what you're hearing?
I've heard "ha-na" and "ah-na", sometimes the h is silent, just depends on how someone pronounces it, how quickly they're speaking, etc. I've noticed dropped or blending of syllables occur when speaking.

It sounds like Koreans don't pronounce the final consonant a lot of the time, like how she's saying 셋 and 넷, not really making much of a "t" sound. I wonder how long this has been the case?

why, when I hear native Koreans count 123, it sounds more like 하, 둘, 세? Is this a slang, a shortened form or just a pronunciation unclear to foreigners?
you just get annoyed that you have to say long words and shorten it ex) 핫 둘 셋 넷 다 여 일곱 여덣 아홉 열
