learn 1-10 in japanese - the easy way

1-10 in japanese:

1. itchi
2. ni
3. san
4. shi
5. go
6. roku
7. shishi
8. hatchi
9. ku
10. ju

ok. we were taught to learn them by breaking it down into chunks that you could remember, with like the rhyme of it, the imagery, etc.

1-3:
itchi = itchy
ni = knee
san = san

I knew this before but nice little guide :D Love the pics.

I learnt Japanese when I was very young, and I think I learnt it this way. I forgot it though, but it's a very good guide :). I'll actually give you +rep for that because it's unique as well :D. Like Yonder454 (tehe) said, loving the pics :D

Good guide :) +rep
