Counting in Japanese 1
こんにちは!:))
UNITS [0 to 9]
[0] *〇 ゼロ / れい (零/例**) (zero / rei)
[1] 一 いち (ichi)
[2] 二 に (ni)
[3] 三 さん (san)
[4] *四 よん / し / よ (yon / shi / yo)
[5] 五 ご (go)
[6] 六 ろく (roku)
[7] *七 なな / しち (nana / shichi)
[8] 八 はち (hachi)
[9] *九 きゅう / く (kyuu / ku)
Notes
The symbol 〇 is not really a kanji, but you can see this symbol in some written documents and in the written prices of some traditional restaurants in Japan. zero has the kanji 零 (KUN ぜろ/ ON レイ) but in common speach is usually written with katakana, and **れい as 例 means example.
The first two readings for the number four (よん and し) and both readings for number seven (なな and しち) can be used interchangeably when counting something.
You can either say: …さん、よん、ご、ろく、なな …
or : …さん、し、ご、ろく、しち…
The third reading for the number four (よ) and the second one for the number nine (く) are used when telling the time.
For the rest of the numbers that are formulated with a four or a seven we use the readings よん and なな respectively.
TENS [10 to 90]
We use the counter: 十 (じゅう)
10 十 じゅう (juu)
20 二十 にじゅう (nijuu)
30 三十 さんじゅう (sanjuu)
40 四十 よんじゅう (yonjuu)
50 五十 ごじゅう (gojuu)
60 六十 ろくじゅう (rokujuu)
70 七十 ななじゅう (nanajuu)
80 八十 はちじゅう (hachijuu)
90 九十 きゅうじゅう (kyuujuu)
Examples:
23 = 二十三 = にじゅうさん = nijuusan.
67 = 六十七 = ろくじゅうなな = rokujuunana.
91 = 九十一 = きゅうじゅういち = kyuujuuichi.
HUNDREDS [100 to 900]
We use the counter: 百
100 百 ひゃく (hyaku)
200 二百 にひゃく (nihyaku)
300 三百 さんびゃく (sanbyaku)
400 四百 よんひゃく (yonhyaku)
500 五百 ごひゃく (gohyaku)
600 六百 ろっぴゃく (roppyaku)
700 七百 ななひゃく (nanahyaku)
800 八百 はっぴゃく (happyaku)
900 九百 きゅうひゃく (kyuuhyaku)
Be careful with the especial pronunciations!!
Examples
348 三百四十八 さんびゃくよんじゅうはち = sanbyakuyonjuuhachi.
620 六百二十 ろっぴゃくにじゅう = roppyakunijuu.
875 八百七十五 はっぴゃくななじゅうご = happyakunanajuugo.

Free and Cheap Japanese Textbooks and Resources
If you have an account at a decent public or college library, chances are that not only can you order/check out actual physical textbooks for free, but you can get free online textbooks through their catalog. I have found Remembering the Kanji, Japanese linguistics textbooks, the Genki series, etc. this way, plus a lot of the Colloquial series language books and other books that are not considered textbooks but are geared toward serious learners. If you don’t have access to a good university library, see if you have a friend who does! If they are OK with giving you their library website login info, you will have access to AN INSANE NUMBER OF FREE ONLINE LANGUAGE BOOKS AND TEXTBOOKS including textbooks for learning very obscure or difficult languages. They may not want you to check out physical books on their card, but chances are they’d be fine with you using their account to read online textbooks.
You can also get older versions of the ENTIRE GENKI TEXTBOOKS (both volumes!) for free in other places online, and they are still entirely useable. A lot of colleges use newer versions of the exact same textbooks to “properly” teach you Japanese, so these are great for self-study or people who cannot afford the newer versions. Remembering the Kanji is also pretty easy to find, and Japanese for Busy People. You can get these in .pdf format so you can even upload them onto a Kindle to carry with you wherever you go.
Older physical copies of the Genki and Youkoso (Yookoso) textbooks are pretty easy to find for VERY low prices if you get outdated versions. After you finish Genki 1 and 2, there’s an Integrated Intermediate Japanese textbook from the same company that is also cheap in older versions. If you don’t need to learn kana stroke order, Japanese Demystified covers most of the same material as an introductory Japanese textbook and is a great reference for serious learners. It actually covers more material than you’d learn in a lot of college Japanese 101 classes and I think it costs about $14. It was written by a university instructor who also wrote some Japanese textbooks that are more expensive and contain much of the same information. Essential Japanese Grammar and Essential Japanese Vocabulary are along similar lines - these are specialized, but they are good cheap resources to have that will basically teach you the same material as a $200 college textbook. Books in the Demystified and Colloquial series’ tend to be pretty good for languages in general.
Basically you can get the resources to master first through second-year Japanese and some third-year completely for free - you just might pick up a few obsolete phrases or grammatical habits that you will have to correct later. Make sure you learn proper stroke order AND DIRECTION for hiragana, katakana, and kanji. If the book illustrations aren’t clear, check gifs and Youtube to verify how to write them. Check your pronunciation against pronunciations on YouTube, audio lessons, etc., and check out whatever supplementary books you can get. Older textbooks won’t have new vocab (like current computer technology), so you may need to learn that online or from library books. It’s possible to find all three levels of Pimsleur’s Japanese audio course in mp3 format for free online if you know where to look, and these will actually teach you a lot of fairly advanced grammar and vocabulary. Some of the grammar I learned from Pimsleur isn’t taught in my college’s Japanese courses until the last class of your second year. Add in other free audio and video lessons you find online, apps, and other free resources, and you can learn a SHIT TON of Japanese for free. You can learn even more with an investment of $50-100 total over the course of several years.
