and seven are read し (shi) and しち (shichi), respectively—the on'yomi readings.\n- When counting down, they are read as よん (yon) and なな (nana), respectively—the kun'yomi readings.\n\n_However_, when using counters (discussed a few sections down below), when using numbers bigger than ten, and in almost all other cases—you'll use kun'yomi (よん and なな) to count four and seven.\n\n> Last but not least, for whatever reason, Japan liked the word \"zero\" so much that they yoinked it right out of English and started using it for 0. Don't try to make sense of it. Just go with it.\n\n---\n\n## Counting from 11–100 in Japanese\n\n_Sheesh_, that was rough.\n\nThankfully, the rest of Japanese numbers are pretty straightforward. In fact, the Japanese counting system is even more consistent than ours in English!\n\nWhen counting from 11–99, you'll have three columns of numbers: \\[X\\] \\[Y\\] \\[Z\\]\n\n1. The number in spot \\[X\\] tells you how many 10s there are (only used for 20+)\n2. The number in spot \\[Y\\] is ten\n3. The number in spot \\[Z\\] tells you how many ones there are\n\nSo... let's say you want to say _twelve_ in Japanese. That's ten plus two, and in Japanese, it's literally just ten and two:\n\n- \u003Ctypo  lang=\"ja\"  syntax=\"十二[じゅうに]\">\u003C\u002Ftypo> \u003Ccustom-audio src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002F十二.m4a\" :type=\"0\">\u003C\u002Fcustom-audio> = 12 (literally: ten two)\n\nWhen you move up to twenty, now you have to begin specifying how many tens there are.

(I write stuff because I'm not good at math). Anyway, the point is this:\n\n> While a typical college-educated native speaker knows \"a few ten-thousand words\", to borrow Japanese's style of counting, you only actually need to know about 1,500 words to have an 80% chance of recognizing any random word you encounter.\n\nWords aren't used equally often!\n\nThat key insight in mind, we set out to build the most efficient Japanese course in history.\n\n\u003Cimg src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fblog\u002Fmigaku-japanese-academy-counters.jpeg\" width=\"1656\" height=\"1158\" alt=\"A screenshot from our Japanese course, showing how we help users learn Japanese vocabulary and grammar\" \u002F>\n\nYou'll first read about how a certain grammatical structure works—such as those counters we talked about—and then commit those structures to memory by learning practical sentences where they're used. More than that, each of our sentences introduces one (and only one) new word at a time, so the learning curve is _super_ smooth.\n\nAt a pace of 10 new words per day, or about half an hour of effort, you'll go from zero to \"ready to begin stumbling through Japanese Netflix\" in about six months.\n\n\u003Cprose-button href=\"\u002Flearn-japanese\" text=\"Learn Japanese with Migaku\">\u003C\u002Fprose-button>\n\n---\n\n## The most important thing to remember if you want to learn Japanese\n\nSo, no doubt about it—Japanese numbers are complex. Your head is probably hurting right now. (At least mine was, way back when, when I learned how numbers work).\n\nThat's OK and normal.\n\nTry not to stress out about it too much.\n\nAs you spend more time with Japanese, and you see Japanese numbers in action, you'll gradually develop a feel for how they work. It won't happen overnight, but it'll happen, even without a ton of conscious effort on your part.\n\nTo turn that into a mantra:\n\n> If you consume Japanese media you enjoy, and you understand some of the messages and sentences within that media, you'll make progress.
