This is very easy and anyone can do it. You don't have to spend so much time counting 1 to 100. I will tell you the best tips or tricks that you can remember it very fast. I do this a lot with my students who are just starting out their Japanese language journey. If you don't know anything about it, don't worry about it. I will make it super easy for you. It's finally October in Japan. I mean like other places like you guys also know October of course. It's autumn now. It's finally getting cooler. I don't get irritated and I spend my days like this. I go outside for a walk. The weather is really nice. In October, I mean September. In September, it's like a festival in Japan. It's like a summer festival but there are a lot of festivals in September and October. I went to a festival the other day and filmed a video. Please check it out in another video. Anyway, I know you are waiting for it. Let's just get into number 1 to 100. I actually want to show you something really cool. Wait, what am I going to do? Ready, set, go! Looks so dumb. Ready, set, go! Alright, I'm here. Well, I was just sitting right here and then I'm just here. It's a very very close trip. Yeah, literally I was here. Anyway, alright, let's get into it. I got this white video... I got this white board for lesson videos. Recently, I have been filming vlogs. I want to film vlogs. And of course, I want to film lesson videos. So I will do both. I bought this white board for lessons. So I will use it for the first time today. Alright, so 1 to 100. Very easy. But the only thing you have to do is to remember 1 to 10. If you know 1 to 10, you automatically know 1 to 100. I will show you the trick in a minute. But first thing we have to do is to know 1 to 10. This is going to be the base. Until you get 100. 1 2 3 4 or 4 4 or 4 I will talk about this in a minute. 5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 6 7 alright guys are you okay with 1 to 10? are you? really? are you? okay so now it's a quiz time! Let's do the quiz! okay I'll show you from 1 to 10 so please answer the number in Japanese of course okay This is... 1 This is... 2 This is... 3 This is... 4 or 4 great This is... 5 This is... 6 This is... 7 or 7 okay This is... 8 This is... 9 or 9 9 or 9 This is... 10 okay hopefully you got them all if not please go back and watch it again 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 okay so now you want to move on to 1 to 100 all we need is this 1 to 10 Ichi kara juu made wo tsukaimasu Kore dake no other new information it's all about this trick which I'm about to tell you okay so keep watching 11 looks weird but it's okay so 11 is basically in Japanese 10 plus 1 yeah it's very simple and we already know 10 which is juu right? and we already know 1, ichi so say it together juu ichi yes we got 11 that's how it works so 10 plus 1, juu ichi makes it 11, that's how it works so 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 we just keep this juu and then we change the green number okay 12, 10 plus 2 so juu ni, you get it right? then 13, juu plus 3, juu plus 3 I'm confusing myself right now with English and Japanese so 13, juu plus san right? so juu san wait should I add romaji? 14, juu plus yon juu yon it's not you juu yon or juu shi okay let's keep going 15 juu plus go juu go 16, juu dai roku juu roku got it? alright 17, juu plus nana juu nana or juu shichi juu nana or juu shichi 18, juu hachi, juu hachi you see how it works right? it's actually easier than you think alright 19, 10 plus 9, juu, kyu juu kyu or juu ku it's quite simple right? as long as you know 1 to 10 it's all about how you combine with juu and the other number. I hope it's clear to you and I know what you're thinking nana when are you gonna explain what's the difference between yon and shi nana and shichi, kyu and ku okay I got you so let me explain finally so this is a mystery of yon, shi, nana, shichi kyu, ku. why do we have two different ways to read? this is so confusing right? I know it's actually very tiring to erase this every time I know there are many people who do really nice clean, beautiful lively, I don't know what to say but like really good animation for text and numbers and everything but this is my way let me do it as I do in my lessons okay so this is gonna be like live-ish lessons for you okay alright I actually should have explained to you earlier. alright so why do we even have it? right? I understand your feeling but reason why we have two different ways to count is that we have some numbers from Japanese origin and other numbers from Chinese origin that's why we have two different ways to count ichi, ni, san, shi, go, roku, shichi, hachi, ku, ju. these are the Chinese origin but we use yon, nana, and kyu. what a Japanese origin okay there are some stories but shi in Japanese it means death yabai! this is so negative and ku means suffer in Japanese oh no that's negative so for four and nine shi and ku is not really a lucky number it's very unlucky number so they decided to use the Japanese way instead shichi sounds very similar to ichi right? is it shichi or ichi or you said ichi or shichi? shichi or ichi? very annoying right? so instead to make it clear we started to use nana instead of shichi alright so that's why we have two different ways to count on certain numbers okay now which one to use when right? for shi shichi and ku well this is gonna be another another video to talk about this I need some more time to explain but shi, shichi, ku you use it for month moth oh sumimasen it's not moth it's month but month in Japanese is basically number gatsu number gatsu ichi gatsu ni gatsu san gatsu for example this is gonna be a whole different topic but for April we don't say yon gatsu we say shi gatsu go gatsu, roku gatsu for July it will be shichi gatsu not nana gatsu, shichi gatsu and hachi gatsu for August and ku gatsu for month right? not kyu gatsu ku gatsu and juu gatsu for example. Counting month is just an example but which one to use it really depends on what you're counting, what you're talking about right? so it changes so that's something we have to go over also alright it's been a while but do you remember from 1 to 19 that we just did together earlier? Hopefully you didn't forget. So now we go from 20 to 100 okay again this is going to be very easy so don't worry about it. Okay let's move on oh my god the whiteboard is fun gives me the school vibe it's like school, it's interesting now 20 is more like... okay 20 basically 2 plus 10. Again it's very simple. Okay so you know 2 right? 2. You know 10 right? 10. Together 20. Okay I almost forgot to put romaji again. So now I'm adding romaji but it's much better if you get used to hiragana like solely read hiragana it really helps. It might be hard in the beginning but trust me it will be so much easier for you so for yourself try not to look at romaji okay just for today I'll just add it as support so 20 you should be able to guess what comes after 30. 3 plus 10 so okay 40 4 plus 10 okay and when you're simply counting numbers use yon instead of ji okay 50 5 plus 10 right so okay now 60. What is this? okay keep going 70 again stick to nana instead of shichi 80 already 90 9 plus 10 so alright so now we know I'll put the reflection I'm so sorry. Hopefully you see it I hope you saw it alright finally 100 100 you have to remember it's very different 100 okay 100 for 100 alright so from 20 to 90 let's go over together again okay 20 2 plus 2. 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 great I'm just assuming that you got it correct 90 and lastly 100 okay so now we got 20 to 90 okay let's do a quick review quick summary of everything that we learned from 1 to 10 20 to 90 and 100 and lastly I give you some quizzes okay 1 2 3 4 or 4 4 or 4 5 6 7 or 7 7 or 7 8 9 9 and 10 10 alright now 20 to 90 let's go 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 and the 100 would be 100 alright lastly it's not done yet so lastly I give you a quick quiz to see how much you remember today this is 15 this is 34 this is 76 and this is 3 and this is 95 that's a lot alright let's make it bigger numbers okay over 100 but how it works always the same right so 100 plus 10 plus number okay last digit so this one 192 this is 177 this is 105 so if you see nothing in the 10 part you can just skip it 100 plus 5 105 alright then this is 111 this is 48 alright the last one this is 164 how many did you get? or did you get all of them correct? let me know in the comment if this video helped you remember numbers 1 to 100 in an easier way give me a like and make sure to subscribe if you haven't before I forget I put the practice sheet in the description down below so make sure to download the free material so that you can practice more and more until you get used to it thank you for watching see you in the next video bye bye
