- [Course 1 Lesson B]
Japanese counting is ACTUALLY easier than English counting since Japanese doesn't have as many unique numbers. With just 10 new words (the first 10 numbers) you can make up to 99 numbers.
Be sure to visit the website to see the full lesson.
Here is the complete list:
1 - ichi
2 - ni
3 - san
4 - shi (yon)
5 - go
6 - roku
7 - shichi (nana)
8 - hachi
9 - ku (kyuu)
10 - juu
This video is part of the courses on:
fromzero.com based on the Japanese From Zero! (learnfz.com/JF...) book series written by George Trombley and Yukari Takenaka
Power up your Japanese on FromZero.com (lessons, quizzes, games, ask-a-teacher)
Imagine if English numbers were like one, two, three, death, five, suffering, seven, eight, pestilence 🤣
I knew math was evil!
suffering is nine not six
sixty nine is coronavirus
😂😂😂😂😂
four is death?
familiar
Wow I just asked my mother who is Japanese to count to 10 and back, and she said it different on the way backwards. It actually works!
h bb g
Yes, it's a little easier to pronounce fast using the alternate words going backwards.
I realize this comment is going back a a ways but…I also just asked my Japanese mother (Okinawan actually) to count backwards from ten and she did NOT use different numbers 🤷🏻♀️
@@nikichiq That means she is not Japanese 🙅
I just asked 2 different friends and one did it, the other did not 😂 one is from Osaka the other is from Tokyo, probably doesn’t matter but just fyi
Did anyone else get happy as a kid after being able to count to 100 in English
Miyuki #Btsisthebestband
There was that one time when I was just doing something and suddenly realised that I can actually count beyond a million in English. It was really weird.
Nope
Yes
Yup lol
Japanese mother to me: how old is your baby brother?
Me: death
lol
LOL
LOL!!!
This is hilarious 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have tried to learn japanese in so many different ways - using textbooks, phone apps, etc. But I gotta tell you, this is the most fun way to learn japanese, IMO. I do feel like I'm in a classroom interacting with the instructor which helps me to focus but it's not as restricted as being in a class (i'm watching these in my pjs drinking coffee before work)! I'm going to keep watching your videos. Thank you for these awesome lessons!
Jisoo Shin I can teach you Japanese I'm not a pro but I'm good at teaching other.

@@lanaaugustine8117 can you help me as well?
Yeah me too
@@lanaaugustine8117 do you charge or just doing it as a social work?
how did it go? Did you learn it?
Kyuu might be the cutest but juu shi is the juiciest.
I chuckled.
Kyaa
Cant argue with that
👌
haha i get it
I never thought I’d be able to confidently count to 99 in another language within just 2 hours
2 hours? Were you not able to master it within the 20 minutes class?
@@user-vn2dd1op3x gotta memorize each word. that can take a little time.
My wife said shi and nana in normal and then said yon and shichi in backwards... LMAO! had a blast making her repeat it. Thanks!
Tony Leon Haha counting outside of the box :D

So, I found a nice game/technique for practicing numbers. If you have a commute to work. I've been just looking at plates, signs, and billboards and saying out loud all the numbers I see in Japanese. It's been really fun and I've started to just not even think about it, but immediately know the numbers in Japanese. Plus it's great because the numbers are always random and different.
This has actually been very helpful, thanks
Eric Andre .. dude great idea. I'm always looking for ways to be time efficient and practice on the fly... I will definitely do this. Thank you!!
Eric Andre thanks!! I'm going to try that :)
Eric Andre was just thinking about doing this tomorrow before getting to your comment. Great idea
I only ever learned to count to 1 in Japanese, simply because i did this method, but instead of road signs i just counted the money in my wallet.
Houses usually avoid using the number four because in Chinese and many other languages, four sounds like any word - death. So instead, they use 3A for their four. Example: 1, 2, 3, 3A, 5, 6......
I really like this teaching style, it got me very engaged , thank you alot, really mean it ^^
This is by far the best Japanese class I've ever seen thank you so much for the content
Well shoot.. I guess Japanese people probably think I'm really bad luck or something.. XD
This is actually teaching me extremely well im very happy. You are an amazing teacher
are u still studying it?
I purchased the first book last week and was having a rough time with my concentration.. and sometimes I wished there was some sort of interactive way to help with the stuff that was less clear to me. AND THERE YOU WERE. Thank you so much for making these videos! They make it so much more fun and way easier to learn :)
I took a picture of my book next to my laptop with this video on in fullscreen and people on FB thought I was receiving a private lesson :)
This isn't from zero, this is from one :^)
TRUE. This is why you need to see PT 5 The SEQUEL where I cover ZERO!
But the channel says Learn Japanese From Zero :)
+TamilanPlays HD
What? Are you serious right now do you know how you sound? This guy thinks he's freakin Bill Murray's second coming in his mind.
It's funny how so many people think this is the greatest, wittiest thing to say. It's literally the only thing people ever say about the name From Zero! when they are trying to be funny. They hear the word "zero" and think "whoa this is lesson 1" and then they comment on it. It's ultra lame LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Learn Japanese From Zero!
(Shrug)
Good stuff you got here though I really gotta say that because I feel like I've never made any progress with Japanese maybe because whatever videos I watched were generally japanese people teaching it. I have nothing against japanese people obviously but the videos I watched were usually pretty lackluster and I didn't feel I could connect with the material the same way.
I think you have a good thing going and you kinda go "This is how they want you to do it but it really means this but thats dumb so I'll show you my way" that helps me.
You're the best teacher I've found so far on youtube, i love how you explain it so well, I've been trying to learn the numbers in Japanese for a while, and could never do it because other people on youtube don't explain it as much, so thanks :D I'm also buying the books to go along :))
I love that he adds stuff in as if youre in a classroom like "i heard someone say....."
Did u learn japanese by now? 1 year has passed lol
In the manga/anime called "Nana", its a story of 2 girls named Nana. One gets called "Hachi" like the dog but I get the joke now because it also means 8 (like how nana means 7). So the characters are "seven" and "eight"
Yeah hachi and san are the ones i most remember bc hachi the dog and san is a formal prefix that i'm used to bc i have lots of japanese friends
Moved from Vegas to Nagano Japan. love this guys charisma. Such amazing energy and insanely knowledgeable. CANNOT STOP WATCHING
サム
I’ve been studying Japanese for years and I still come back to these videos for a refresher of the fundamentals!
In Mandarin, 4 is an unlucky number too.
Four is sì, while death is sǐ.
Currently I am in Taiwan, and I can confirm that most hotels and apartments do NOT have a 4th floor.

I have just ordered the Japanese from zero 1-5 books for my son. Hundred of pounds, hope they are all worthwhile. Who is watching this video during the lockdown? Please give a thump up 👍🏻 love learning different cultures through learning languages. ' live like you are going to die tomorrow, learn like you are going to live forever ' keep safe everyone no matter who you are and where you are at.😇
I LOVE how he teaches~ Best teach ever! His excitement and time to time fun makes me want to learn more Lol😄
For the people who have a Nintendo Switch and some spare cash, theres a game called “Hiragana Pixel Party” and its pretty good. It teaches both hiragana and katakana. Its a sidescroller where you jump over boxes. Its boring but good to learn.
Just thought someone could benefit from this 🙂
I love how the channel named Japanese from Zero started teaching number from one instead.
LOL! This is so true! I actually realized I have to now have a video JUST about zero! It is sort of special!
Japanese numbers PT 0 • 零
Thank you Vincent for that future video that George will make~
Honestly.... that is exactly what I should call it when I talk about ZERO. But actually I should make a "prequel". That would be sweet.
FYI the ZERO PREQUEL is uploading right now!
I find it very hard to learn with books alone so I absolutely love and appreciate having the videos to watch after reading each section. Thank you.
You make this so fun. It’s like I’m actually there with you
I am a university student from Turkey. This is my first year in school, my major is Computer Eng. but in English. My English is Grade B+. Thanks to you I can learn Japanese with beginner English. When I am watching this lesson never get bored. I am learning Japanese for fun, You are a great Senpai.
This is great, ive looked alot of textbooks and such so far but I love how comfortable you are with explaining all this.
Its like sitting in a classroom with a teacher because its all unscripted , it just has a relaxed feel to it that makes it feel less stiff and more comfortable.
You are a good teacher.
You know what’s crazy, I wrote 76 down as an example number before I went along with the video. But then his example number was also 76. What a 1/99 chance of happening!
This is the most fun I have ever had while learning something new. Thank you so much for this, George.
Joined the military just so I could get stationed in Japan, so this series is going to be very helpful over the coming years. Thank you so much for making the books and this video series!
7:07 *SHI(NE)* !!!
I started a week ago today, let me tell you George, you and your wife have created something truly special. Although I am getting to a point in the series and book to which i get confused, so I seem to go back to the beginning, rewatching the videos, re-reading the lessons and reinforcing what I do know and understanding what I didn't which then allows me to progress a bit further. Like I say, I have only been doing this for a week, I know 1 - 99, some simple sentences and questions, along side 25 Hiragana. I work alot at the moment due to covid, but all of the spare time I have, i'm throwing at this. Never thought i'd be able to learn anything like this, but I love everything about the culture, and you good sir have made it so much more accessible for people like me.
i learn counting 1 to 10 from naruto 😂😂
good hahahhaa
jr omigosh...same! The tailed beasts!!!
jr lmao me too
Same😂
It seems Kishimoto used the *second version of the numbers* (the ones that have it) for the *tailed beasts*
i'm currently practicing the numbers like this:
1) google "random numbers between 1 and 100"
2) hit spacebar or enter to get a new random number
3) say the number out loud
4) double check with google translate microphone function
search for the website japanese numbers listening practice
I learned the alternate versions of 4,6 and 9 first. watching this shows me i gotta study the other versions now
Same 😓
I count 1-99 in Japanese and I am happy as a kid now
I REALLY want to learn Japanese, and I have a Japanese friend I COULD practice with but I am really nervous to pronounce things wrong and sound like a dumb weeaboo ;---;
I wouldn't be nervous about it. Just like learning to play notes on an instrument, you can't go from beginner to master without making some wrong squelching sounds. And while I don't subscribe to the whole "weeaboo" thing, I will add that (speaking for myself as an anime fan) were one ONLY learning Japanese for the sake of watching anime or reading manga... then it would be a rather hollow pursuit, and limiting the language of a people and culture to little more than a specific medium.
whats a weeaboo?
hmm someone who denounces their own culture in pursuit of Asian culture without actually understanding Asian culture so they just end up sounding like an ass to people in both cultures
I've never heard of it being used for Asian culture all around, just specifically Japanese. Also, you shouldn't sound too much "like a dumb weeaboo" if you focus on the sound. You have a Japanese friend to practice with so just tell him/her to be hard on you about it. My Japanese teacher says I sound alright, but my Japanese friend says I sound cringey af, so I don't practice with him :( FeelsBadMan #CantPractice
I wouldn't worry about it too much. like Zero said in the first video make mistakes
Hi! So I asked my husband to count to 10 and back. He ended up counting differently but he made a really great point as to why it’s different. He said it could be different because typically when counting down it’s for something like during a celebration so when counting down they don’t use any numbers with negative associations (4 and 7 are changed).
Interesting theory but 7 doesn’t have any negative connotations like 4 and 9. But hey… you never know!
And then there's the French Counting System xD
Or Korean where you have the native Korean system and the Sino-Korean system.
"Do I use 팔 or 여덟 ?"
Un Deux Trois Quatre Cinq Six Sept Huit Neuf Dix.
That moment when you are fluent in two languages
ZyraxGD I thought fluent meant something else not just typing to ten lol
Fother Mucka IKR,🤦♀
How bad is it?
George, I'm mostly a lurker, but over the past two months (二ヶ月), I've been going through your archives and wanted to thank you for everything man! I'm a very disorganized learner, but your videos are so clear and concise that my Japanese has improved unbelievably fast since I started following you. I learned hiragana, katakana, some Kanji, verb conjugation, grammar, particle use, and simple sentences/vocab just from watching you. You are a real inspiration and have pushed me and raised my confidence to the point that I'm excited each and every day to learn more. Thanks a million George, I look forward to spending some of my savings on your books!
THANK YOU! This is why I had to write the books. All the books I bought to teach my students Japanese were so uncaring about the student. Authors are constantly punching the student in the stomach (that is how it feels). They knock the wind out of the student then expect them to keep learning. More videos coming!
I know this video is super old now, but I wanted to let you know. My husband and I moved to Japan last year and picked up the first of your books a few months before relocating. We've been using them (and a few other apps and sources) to learn, and I really like the way you explain things. I just found your videos and thought it was super helpful to review what we learned from your books since I took a bit of break from them. (Relocation to another country is very complicated lol). Anyway, I'm back on track and wanted to thank you! So... thank you! Haha! I think what I struggle with most is that I know more Japanese than my husband does, but he has more confidence to use what he knows when we go out in public. Still working on that confidence almost one year into living in Japan, but I know I'll get there with your resources!!!
What made you move to Japan? Are you still there? How is your Japanese? Thank you.
I've been learning mandarin for 4 years and I'm already satisfied with my chinese. Now it's time to learn japanese.
Over the years I've watched many online classes teaching various subjects. You're definitely one of the better ones by far. Your style really immerses me and gives me the feeling that i'm in a class in a good way.
1 to 5 is really easy for me because I used to read a dystopian novel called Pure (it's the first part of a triology) by Julianna Baggott. In it the female protagonist doesn't remember anything from her childhood except running through the street pointing at poles and saying: itchy knee, sun she go! She later realises that it's 1 to 5 in Japanese and that's a bit of an important part to the story's suspense background thing lol
I forgot all the numbers by the time we got to the pop quiz XD
rozenblaadje129
I memorised all of them by saying it over and over for a hour
LegendOfSonic pro
You don't need to say all the numbers at the same time and for an hour.. Instead of memorise you should try to put it in your brain naturally one by one..
However, if you repeat いち, に, さん, よん, ご spending just 10 minutes in your day you'll be able to remember them.. So start now to repeat it 3,4,5,6 times.. and then you wait for 5 seconds to repeat again, but this time you must to remember them and then you say one by one.. If you're right, you rise the interval and then you wait for 10 seconds.. do the same thing.. later 30 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes..
I heard that writing stuff makes it easier to remember, so maybe try that. (Writing =/= Typing)
DylanKing1999 There are nursery songs which help you memorise numbers in youtube
Even though I've already bought two other books on japanese AND Kanji from zero - because of this video alone I also bought Japanese from Zero.
I love that you give video lessons to acompany your books and that they are actually free and not behind any registration wall.
(also I love that there's a Unity development book on the shelf behind you :D)
7:28 mista left the chat
I got your book last week because I'm going blind and love anime and dramas and want to continue to enjoy it without eyesight. YOUR BOOK AND VIDEOS ARE THE BEST!!!!! I am counting! This is so cool!! Thank you!!!
Ku- bad luck, kanji for suffering. I see how naruto's concept came along
I'm from the UK and decided to learn Japanese during the lockdown. It's something I've always wanted to do but i've never had the time. These videos have been fun so far, never thought learning numbers could be entertaining, I hated maths at school. Definitly going to buy your books.
"17"
What is this number?
"Juu ni"
My braaaain!!! 😣
jyuu shichi = 17
You remind me of my math teacher, the way you teach, teachers that teach with passion makes it so much easier to learn. The world needs more teachers like you
Love these videos. I love learning Japanese
Ps. In my language nana means grandfather. And Nani何 means grandmother.
So whenever I say. Nani 何 I feel like I'm calling my grandmother
So my Spanish professor had a favorite saying, "Practica, Practica, Practica." Which just means to practice. Also, as an chemist, the sugar Sucrose has 45 elements in is. That could be shown on screen.
"Notice my R is not ROKU (very American like)"😂😂😂
no... I mean "American"
FiveADay Kanji looks like someone didn't watch the video. There is and "Amerrrrrrican" R my friend.😜
FiveADay Kanji no way friend, there's the American R (sarcastic now) and other English R's.
FiveADay Kanji I think he means when it comes to accents
@@FiveADayKanji ohhh there is. I assure you. Lol
I am san jū kyū years old
And only now started study Japanese
For fun
19:00 Its called 77 bank cause probably worldwide 7 is lucky number
that “ku juu” joke though 😂
what
Ku juu explain:)
“Thank you for not falling asleep” I genuinely fell asleep halfway through and woke up to that, as it’s late and Japanese classes make me super sleepy LOL
Thank you so much : ) You're such a great teacher, it's a pleasure listening to you
really loving it man! I finished the 3rd video today, and I will try to do one each day. ich ni san shi(yon) go roku shichi(nana) hachi kuu(kyuu) s2
I don't know if it's in Japan too but (from what I've read and heard) in China the hotels usually don't have the rooms 4, 13 and 14 (13 for the western people).
your videos help me to learn English and Japanese at the same time
thankuu these lessons are really helpful
already finished book 1 but i love coming back for a refresher/background noise
Dude these videos are the best. Thanks so much super helpful. I have hello talk. It is very helpful!
Thank you george san :) I'm Turkish and learning japanese, it's been a month maybe. Turkish and Japanese are really similiar. I loved this playlist.
And yes, a lot of apartment buildings will skip し and しち
Did you mean く? I thought しち is sort of lucky.
No I I meant 7 bit maybe in wrong
+Shea Ferguson 七
Yeah, pretty sure し and く are usually skipped on apartment buildings.
did you see in japan
He is a good teacher 👨🏫
Hey if you know Spanish it's so easy
Not as easy as Dutch.
Beskt Dutch is a hell of a language homie
I have been learning Japanese using a paid lesson service online for 2 months and my speaking is great but grammar really keeps me held back. I put in one hour of self-study every day and I was told that your book George was the best for that. Wow, not only is there a great book but also lessons to work on at the same time.
I hope you see this but wow you have helped me!!!
ありがとうございます。
After I learn some Japanese imma watch some anime. Learn from mistakes redo and then keep practising if this works I'll be able to watch dbsuper with sub titles
Dragonball super and gt ruined dragonball
Im looking forward to be able to play all the Yakuza games without subtitles. I'll make it my "final exam"
Komugi: yon - yon - ichi
Me : THATS WHAT IT MEANT
you learn something everyday
The numbers are the same in German!🤗
Way before I started being interested in Japanese I learned how to count to ten when I had a substitute teacher who taught the whole class. And I remembered that for years, and now here I am learning Japanese and I already know how to count to ten, so I can just go from there. It also helps that I’ve been learning for a year now.
I’m watching these videos because I’m STUCK! so I’m taking your advice and moving forward.
ALSO, I didn’t know there were 2 versions of numbers! Nobody taught me that. I’m so glad I found your books and videos.
I like to listen to the video first before the lesson because of how human it tends to feel. It goes smoother after he explains it and I don't overly analyze. it helps alot.🙂
I died a little inside when you said: "Super mario kart". Dude, it's only "Mario kart," you don't have to say the "Super" when talking about mario kart games xd
Go listen to the Rainbow Road track from the 64 game to feel better :P
Sunbreaker7 😂💗
Ikr i was like what you saying bro
I died a little when he was like breaking the forth wall... even though he couldn’t see the future
nobody fucking cares, you nitpicking obsessive nintendo fanboy
I've learned Japanese on duolingo for about a year, and they still have not taught me to count above 10 (I was probably going really slow to be fair). I'm so glad that I've properly learned it now.

Having these videos to guide me through your textbook makes such a difference and its a lot of fun, thanks for the great content.
I spent two months in a building that didn't have a fourth (but had a fifth and sixth) floor in Japan :) You're right about this.
it's so confusing BUT, you do a great job at teaching, I learned 1-99 in 20 minutes, its crazy what a little practice can do lol
i really feel like ive made a lot of progress from when i started, i already know how to count up to 99 when i knew nothing last weekend, also your book has really helped me to. thank youu
I learned the numbers in Karate. I wondered why the Dan ranks were San, Ni, San, Yon, Go, Roku, Nana, Hachi, Ku, and Ju. It is because they are counted down backward for some reason.
You truly are the best teacher!! I have so much fun watching these videos and they make me want to watch them over and over and over again. Thank you for making it so fun to learn!
I speak 2 languages and now I am learning japanese I think based on my experience that is so much better in the beginer level learnf from a non japanese teacher because the teacher can teach from his/her experience, and in advaced levels continue learning with a japanase native teacher.
You are a simple and clear teacher who makes thingS easy
Mista character makes a lot more sense now
Wow, a weeks work done in 20 minutes. Defo underestimated this channel!
I work with quantum computers :) We're still a ways away from commercial QC's in peoples homes. If you're in the year 2040 reading this, drop me a line from your QC!
Thank you for your videos! They're the best!!!
Used to be able to confidently speak base Japanese, but due to not speaking it/practicing. I need to start from scratch, I'm using this as a guide. I'm currently at my night shift, my manager asked me why I'm saying random stuff. I realised I'm counting to 50 in Japanese xd 🎉
Use it or lose it is so true.
To help with the japanese R sound, say the word "Ladder" most english speakers when a d is in the middle of the word will say it almost exactly like a japanese R. Acorrding to a blog post a read way back in the day when i was dabling with japanese, this leads to americans sounding like a frog when they say the word "Kedo" because it sounds like "Kero"; the sound a frog makes
Mushroom Wobbit thank you. This helps me with Japanese and Korean pronunciation.
GEORGE! I had my Japanese friend count forward and backward! And she did exactly what you said! XD that's so interesting/cool!
Wow! Thank you so much for this lesson. I loved that youexplained when it is best to use what version. I look forward to watching this whole series.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE EPISODES HELPED ME ALOT IN JAPANESE LOVE U
George, Route 66 was a very popular TV series from1960 thru 1964. It can still be found on You Tube. Route 66 followed two young men traversing the United States in a Chevrolet Corvette convertible, and the events and consequences surrounding their journeys. Also a very classic song covered by dozens of artist including the Rolling Stones "get your kicks on route 66". Great lessons by the way.
