Review of Numbers:　　（Chinese characters）

Japanese (Chinese character) Pronunciation – English

いち（一）Ichi -- One

に（二）Knee -- Two

さん（三）Sun -- Three

しor よん Shi or Yon（四）-- Four

ご（五）Go -- Five

ろく（六）Roku -- Six

しち or なな（七）Shichi or Nana -- Seven

はち（八）Hachi -- Eight

きゅう（九）Q -- Nine

じゅう（十）Ju – Ten

*Japanese writing is a mix of Japanese alphabet and Chinese

characters. (We have two sets of Japanese alphabet: one set for

Japanese words and the other set for foreign words. Each set has

about 50 letters!) Chinese characters look more complex and a little

more square than Japanese letters/alphabet.
