Jim Kwik teaches Japanese numbers 1-6 with hand gestures and physical mnemonics. Ichi, ni, san, shi, go, roku. You repeat them out loud and practice the motions to lock them in.
We're gonna learn how to count in Japanese. Okay. And you're gonna see it and do it, and everyone at home do this also as well. So repeat after me and do this. Ichi ni. Ichi ni. So ichi is 1, ni is 2 in Japanese. Ichi ni. 3 is san, like sun with an A. So just point to san. San. And then 4 is shi. So point to a female in the room. Shi. So ichi ni san shi. That's 1 through 4. 5 is go. So just take a few steps. Go. And 6 is roku. Imagine you're rowing a canoe. So roku. All right, does everyone— let's see, let's see, let's see what we got. Ichi, ni, san, shi, go, roku. That's 1 through 6. Nice, great job everyone. Guys, we speak Japanese.
