Shh, everyone! Sensei's here!

Hello everyone! Me, Emiko, will be your sensei (teacher) for a while. Like you already know, I really like Japan. I'm in progress to learn the language. So far I just can say basic stuff. But I can count to one hundred very well! And today I will try teach you people to count to ten! ^-^ Does it sound fun? Well, I think so at least!

Lets start then!
One - Ichi 
Two - Ni
Three - San
Four - Shi/Yon
Five - Go
Six - Roku
Seven - Nana/Shichi
Eight - Hachi 
Nine - Kyu
Ten - Ju

It can be difficult to get the right sound. Therefore, I recommend you to watch a video from youtube, then you can hear how it sounds. Don't worry about number four or seven. It's up to you if you want to say shi or yon, shishi or nana. I perfere yon, because then I dont mix it up whit shichi. Yon and shishi is the chinese word for four and seven (if i remember right). Much of the Japanese language comes from China. This is the kanji for the numbers ichi to ju.




Now you have to practice! ^-^ Next time I will show you how to count from 10 to 20. The Japaneese way to count is a little bit alike the swedish way. Hope you look forward to it!
See ya ~
