You can also use a little story to learn these numbers.
First of all, something is itchy
| itchy | |
|---|---|
| 1 |
Well, actually it's an itchy knee.
| itchy | knee | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 |
It's belongs to Mrs Itchy Knee. In Japan you'd call her..
| itchy | knee | san, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
She's going somewhere...
| itchy | knee | san, | she | go | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
She's going to rock!
| itchy | knee | san, | she | go | rock. | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
What are the words she's singing? "Na na!"
| itchy | knee | san, | she | go | rock. | "Na na!" | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
She rocks her heart out and will hatch something.
| itchy | knee | san, | she | go | rock. | "Na na!" | Hatch | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
What will she hatch? A queue of fans!
| itchy | knee | san, | she | go | rock. | "Na na!" | Hatch | a queue | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
And the queue of fans is standing in the morning dew.
| itchy | knee | san, | she | go | rock. | "Na na!" | Hatch | a queue | in the morning | dew. | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
( The "dew" sound is more like a "j" than a "d",
but it's near enough to get you started and understood!)
There you go, a really easy way to remember the numbers up to 10!
Want to learn more?
There are loads of great resources out there, and one of the good ones
is the "Pimsleur" series. They have a "Quick & Simple" starter pack and also a full on "Gold Course". They are well recommended if you want to learn Japanese, in January
I used it to learn everyday Spanish in a month!

Or for slightly cheaper, but one that requires a bit more work, you can have a look at the Living Language series. Although now I would prefer the Pimsleur course above, I actually used
the Living Language series myself when I first learnt Japanese. It's good,
but you have to keep repeating and repeating the same CDs, whereas the
Pimsleur makes you think more, and reviews the language as you go along.

All the Japanese on this page is suitable
for either guys or girls, and is pretty normal,
everyday Japanese. This means it's not too
formal, but you'll be fine as long as you
don't say it to anyone too posh!
