Japanese Numbers

Let's learn Japanese numbers with Audio.

Japanese numerical systems are quite different from its English.
Here, we introduced the basic numbers.

There are two numerical systems in the Japanese language.

The ichi, ni, san system and the hitotsu, futatsu, mittsu system.
The ichi-system is used with number counters.
The hitotsu-system is used independently without number counters (ex. 1-en, 1-mai, 1-dai).
The hitotsu-system goes as far as 10 and cannot be use for people, time and money.
