Let’s begin with numbers. I won’t use any kana for a time, we’ll introduce them later at a slow pace. 

1. The single numbers

   1 = ichi

   2 = ni

   3 = san

   4 = yon (shi)

   5 = go

   6 = roku 

   7 = nana (shichi)

   8 = hachi

   9 = kyuu (ku)

  10 = juu

The words in parentheses are alternative names for those numbers. Sometimes those names are evaded due to the fact that they’re pronounciations for other words regarded as unlucky words, like shi which is the same sound for death and ku which is the same sound for suffering.

2. The teens

These are very simple to work with, and the dynamics to build them are pretty much the same as those of roman numerals. What we do is that we take juu -10- and right after it we place a single number, like this:

11 = juu ichi

12 = juu ni

13 = juu san

14 = juu yon

15 = juu go

16 = juu roku

17 = juu nana

18 = juu hachi

19 = juu kyuu

3. The tens

For these numbers we take a very similar approach to the previous ones, just inverting the order. Like this:

20 = ni juu

30 = san juu

40 = yon juu

50 = go juu

60 = roku juu

70 = nana juu

80 = hachi juu

90 = kyuu juu

4. The hundreds

For 100 we use hyaku, and in order to make bigger numbers from it we just use it in a similar fashion to juu, with some exceptions:

200 = ni hyaku

300 = sanbyaku

400 = yon hyaku

500 = go hyaku

600 = roppyaku

700 = nana hyaku

800 = happyaku

900 = kyu hyaku

5. The thousands

For 1000 we say sen or issen. To build the multiple integers of 1000 we put the name of the integer before sen, with some exceptions:

2000 = ni sen

3000 = san zen

4000 = yon sen

5000 = go sen

6000 = roku sen

7000 = nana sen

8000 = hassen

9000 = kyuu sen

So now, we can build any integer number from 0 to 9999:

46 = yon juu roku

357 =  san byaku go juu nana

7569 = nana sen go hyaku roku juu kyuu

Notice how the name looks like we are adding 7000 + 500 + 60 + 9.

I’m gonna leave it here, today. Hope you may find this useful, and I’ll see you soon :3

How To Study Multiple Languages!

Recently had a follower ask me how I study multiple languages at once and it inspired me to make this post!

So, here are some tips on how to study multiple languages (from someone whose studying 9+ languages atm!):

1. PRIORITIZE

If you try to study all your languages all the time, you’re going to go crazy, and you’re not going to get anywhere (trust me, tried it before). Categorize your target languages based on importance and urgency. Personally, I use the terms primary, secondary, casual, and “dabbled in” (lol) to describe my languages, ranging from most important to least. Primary languages should be studied the most, and casual languages should be studied the least, which brings me to my next point.

2. MAKE A SCHEDULE

Please, please, PLEASE, make some sort of schedule or to-do list, it will make your life so much easier, I swear. As I said previously, prioritize your languages and study the most important ones the most and the least important ones the least. Personally, I like to create a weekly plan on what languages I’ll be studying and on what days. For example, Chinese is one of my primary languages, so I study it every single day, while Italian is one of my more casual languages, so I study it every few days. All in all, you don’t need to (and shouldn’t) study all your target languages in one day. I would even go as far as saying that you should study some languages on a biweekly basis, rather than every week, if that’s something that would work for you.

3. MAKE GOALS (and achieve them!)

This is sort of similar to my last point, but it’s still something I wanted to address in more detail. It’s pretty difficult to create an accurate schedule if you don’t have a specific and detailed goal in mind. Ask yourself questions like, what languages do I need to learn the quickest (ex. an important trip coming up that requires you to know the lang)? How fluent do I want to get? Why am I learning this language (for fun, to talk with natives, to watch your favorite show w/o subtitles, etc)? Aligning your schedule and mindset with these goals will help you to keep focused on your languages!

4. IMMERSION

One highly underated and underdone language learning technique is immersion! Immersion is, well, exactly what it sounds like: it’s when you immerse yourself in the language. Good ways to immerse yourself is through listening to music or podcast in your target language or watching videos, movies, or TV shows (+ its fun!!). Of course, the best way the immerse yourself in a language would be through moving to a country that speaks the language or speaking to native speakers. However, if you’re broke and socially anxious (like yours truly), this isn’t always an option. Also, one thing that I like to do is to change my phone language to whatever language I’m studying at the moment. It really helps!

5. DON’T STRESS (seriously!)

Finally, don’t stress yourself out! Language learning is supposed to be fun and enjoyable, not something that makes you want to curl up in a ball and cry. I’ve made this mistake many times, and it just hurts you in the long run. If you are stressed out by the amount of languages you are learning, STUDY LESS LANGUAGES! Seriously, it’s okay! You can always come back to them at a later time.

Overall, just enjoy the process and have fun with it! Studying languages should be enjoyable to you, and should make your life better, not more stressful.
