Chihiro Hey everybody, I'm Chihiro and you're listening to
Basic Bootcamp Lesson 4 - Counting 1 to 10 and 10 to
100
Ryan Hi everybody, I'm Ryan and welcome to our 4th lesson
in our 5 part series.
Chihiro This lesson should be easy for those of you who know
the numbers already, however, we hope that we can add
a little more information to your already exisiting
knowledge.
Ryan Yes, so here we go with lesson 4.

Chihiro In this lesson you'll will learn how to count from 1~10,
and then 10~100
Ryan This is a simple dialogue of two people counting things
off
Chihiro The conversation is between
Ryan The speakers will be counting in both cardinal and
1 ordinal numbers

A One, two, three, four, five pencils; two, four, six, eight,
ten erasers; and two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve,
fourteen, sixteen rulers.
B The first, second, and third prize winners will be
announced shortly.
A Numbers fifty-two, twenty-three, eighty-seven, and
seventy-nine are the winning numbers!

Chihiro Okay, now like in the mini dialogue we just heard,

there are different ways of counting. You can count in
even numbers, which would be 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 which is
a common way to do. Or you can count in odd
numbers, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11
Ryan Right, either way, those numbers that you've
probably heard before are called cardinal numbers,

and just like you heard, they're used to count things.

Chihiro The other type of numbering you heard in the
dialogue would be ordinal numbers. This type of
numbering tells you the order of things. That's why
you hear it when giving the date in English.
Ryan Make sure to write and pronounce the "-st," "-nd,"
"-rd," and "-th" at the end of the numbers for ordinal
numbers as in, first, second, third, fourth, fifth

Chihiro Now, as we promised, we have a little something for

those who already know hot to count up to 100.
Ryan Since we want everyone to get something out of the
lessons.
Chihiro We have a little something on the meaning of certain
numbers.
Ryan Many cultures around the world have numbers tied
to certain meanings or beliefs. Similarly, in North
America, there are beliefs and superstitions as well.
Chihiro For example people consider the number seven to be
a lucky number. There are many different reasons for
this, but one reason may stem from religious origins -
God created the earth in seven days. In gambling,
people also think the number seven is a very lucky
number on slot machines and a desired number on the
dice.
Ryan Or, some people consider the number thirteen to be
3 an unlucky number. Some buildings may not even
have a thirteenth floor. People believe Friday the
thirteenth is an unlucky day as well. The origin of this
superstition is unknown, but Judas is the thirteenth
person at the table in the famous painting "The Last
Supper," and he is the man who betrayed Jesus.
Chihiro There are more numbers that people view as lucky or
unlucky, such as 666 being the devil's number, and
eleven being another lucky number. Of course,
whether or not people choose to believe these
superstitions is entirely up to them!
Ryan What are some numbers with meaning in your
country?
Chihiro Let us know by leaving us a comment!

Chihiro Let's take a look a closer look at the numbers in this

lesson.
Ryan Now, if you don't know already, the first 20 numbers
may be the hardest to learn, because it's just
memorization. But once you get the hang of it, the
higher numbers should be easy.
Chihiro Right, so let's get it right this time so things will be
easier later.
Ryan Make sure to use the lesson notes, it will definitely
help.
Chihiro Here we go. Ryan, count from 1~20 slowly please.
Ryan 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19, 20
Chihiro Simple as that.
Ryan Okay, Chihiro, can you give is 1~20 in the ordinal
numbers?
Chihiro Sure, it goes, 0, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th. 8th,
9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th,
18th, 19th, 20th
Ryan Okay, and the higher numbers sound a little like the
combination of the two numbers, as in 21, 22, 23, 24,
25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30
Chihiro See how the numbers are just combined? All you
4 hvae to do is remember how to say the ten's column.
Ryan Which goes, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100.
Chihiro And that's it. So, 30+1=31, 50+2=52, 80+3=83,
Ryan And with the ordinal numbers, just add the ending of
the number in the one's column,
Chihiro So a number like 31 would be 31st, 57 would be
52nd, and 83 would be 83rd.
Ryan Right. And there you have it!
Chihiro The cardinal and ordinal numbers up to 100! Okay,
that just about does it for today. [marketing piece]
Ryan See you all soon.
Chihiro Bye for now!
