Let’s Sing Numbers in Japanese | Learn Numbers 1-99 [For Absolute Beginners]

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to say numbers 1-99 in Japanese! Did you know just by learning numbers 1 to 10 in Japanese, you can count up to 99 in Japanese?😊

There are two main parts in this video: 1) A song to help you remember how to count 1 to 10 in Japanese
2) Explanations to help you learn rules about Japanese numbers to count up to 99 just by using numbers 1 to 10.

I explained in the video how to say number 19, 40 & 55 to give you some ideas about Japanese number rules. Other numbers are also formed in the same manner. Here are some examples.

11 (じゅういち juuichi), 12 (じゅうに juuni), 13 (じゅうさん juusan), 14 (じゅうよん juuyon/ じゅうし juushi), 15 (じゅうご juugo), 16 (じゅうろく juuroku), 17 (じゅうなな juunana/ じゅうしち juushichi), 18 (じゅうはち juuhachi) & 19 (じゅうきゅう juukyuu/ じゅうく juuku)

20 (にじゅう nijuu), 30 (さんじゅう sanjuu), 40 (よんじゅう yonjuu/ しじゅう shijuu), 50 (ごじゅう gojuu), 60 (ろくじゅう rokujuu), 70 (ななじゅう nanajuu/ しちじゅう shichijuu), 80 (はちじゅう hachijuu) & 90 (きゅうじゅう kyuujuu *We don’t say ‘くじゅう kujuu’)

Just like number ‘55’ which I talked about in the video, you can also pronounce any other numbers apart from above examples:
(e.g.)
31 (さんじゅういち sanjuu-ichi) = 30 (sanjuu) + 1 (ichi)
25 (にじゅうご nijuu-go) = 20 (nijuu) + 5 (go) etc…

I hope you enjoy the video! ✨
