Numbers, Time, and Days of the Week

Before we get too much further into Japanese grammar and verb
conjugation, I thought it would be a good idea to teach Japanese
numbers, time, days of the week, etc.
- Kanji

Numbers after 10 are a piece of cake once you know 1 through 10. 11
is simply ten with a one after it, (, juuichi), 12 - juuni,
13 - juusan, 14 - juuyon, etc. 20 is simply (, nijuu), 21 nijuuichi, and so forth.
Put these numbers in front of the character for time and you've got
the time of the day.
- Kanji

...etc.
Now just put the character for moon after a number and you've got
a month.

- Kanji

...etc.
Japanese days of the week don't follow such an easy pattern but here
they are anyway along with some other time-related words.
