   Lesson 1
Okie, time for more Nihongo!(Japanese!)
I've decided to actually try teach Japanese, this way I think I'll do better in my Japanese class. Keep in mind I am only a first going on to second year so you should not trust me 100% Be advised, Procede With Caution. Every lesson I shall teach you a silly phrase...^+^ enjoy!

Phrase of the Lesson
*Shinjimae - Go to hell. (*.* how nice...)Thanxs to Phoenixblade

And now, ~Lesson 1 of Learning Japanese from someone Learning Japanese...~

lets start the lesson with numbers

(say each one five times and sound them out)
ichi - one
ni - two
san - three
shi (or) yon - four
go - five
roku - six
shichi (or) nana - seven
hachi - eight
kyuu - nine
jyuu - ten

Structuring longer numbers are as followed...

21 would be ni jyuu ichi. ni is two and jyuu is 10. Placing ni before jyuu would make it twenty (ni jyuu) to add on the one's place number, add it to the back. 21 - ni jyuu ichi
33 - san jyuu san
40 - yon jyuu

100 - hyaku
(the same thing applies to hundreds. if you want two hundred - ni hyaku. But there are exceptions.)
200 - ni hyaku
300 - san byaku (these reason it changes here is the simple reason of "that's the way it is" You just have to learn it this way.)
400 - yon hyaku (personally, it's best to use yon and nana so it doesn't confuse the shi and shichi.)
500 - go hyaku
600 - rop pyaku (six has the double constant going into the hundred. Here the hundred is transformed with a "p". Pay attention to the double constants because when you write it with hiragana, it REALLY matters.)
700 - nana hyaku
800 - hap pyaku (again, you just gotta learn it this way)
900 - kyuu hyaku

1,000 - issen (or) sen (again that's the way it is. It's like how we say one thousand and also thousand)
2,000 - ni sen
3,000 - san zen (it changes here, pay attention)
4,000 - yon sen
5,000 - go sen
6,000 - roku sen
7,000 - nana sen
8,000 - has sen (again, see the changes have a pattern to them)
9,000 - kyuu sen

10,000 - man
20,000 - ni man
30,000 - san man
40,000 - yon man
50,000 - go man
60,000 - roku man
70,000 - nana man
80,000 - hachi man
90,000 - kyuu man
100,000 - jyuu man

I get to reading the numbers past that another time. Don't wanna confuse or make you remembers to many things. If you like this, and want me to keep continue, please comment. Just a simple thumbs up would suffice. Oh, if you have any request you'd want me to teach or any questions, feel free to comment about them. Okay, for now...Sayonara minna-san! Mata!
