Numbers 1 to 10,000, plus dates, time and age on one printable page — with every irregular reading clearly marked.
Numbers are among the very first things you need in Japanese — for prices, phone numbers, times, dates and ages. The base system is logical, but a handful of irregular readings trip up almost every beginner: 300 is さんびゃく (not さんひゃく), the 1st of the month is ついたち, and being 20 years old is はたち.
This cheat sheet gathers the whole system onto one page: the ones, tens, hundreds and thousands, the days of the month, telling the time, and counting age — with the irregular readings flagged with a star so you know exactly which ones to memorise.
Because it is laid out in compact side-by-side tables, it works both as a learning tool and a quick reference you can glance at whenever you are reading a price tag, a timetable or a calendar.
