Last time we covered 1 - 20, & today we’ll go all the way to 100! The nice part is that counting 20-30, 30-40 etc, uses the same pattern as 10-20.
10 + 1 = 11
juu + ichi = juuichi
2 * 10 = 20
ni * juu = nijuu
20 + 1 = 21
nijuu + ichi = nijuuichi
| 10. | juu | じゅう |
| 20. | nijuu | にじゅう |
| 30. | sanjuu | さんじゅう |
| 40. | yonjuu* | よんじゅう |
| 50. | gojuu | ごじゅう |
| 60. | rokujuu | ろくじゅう |
| 70. | nanajuu* | ななじゅう |
| 80. | hachijuu | はちじゅう |
| 90. | kyuujuu | きゅうじゅう |
| 100. | hyaku | ひゃく |
** I mentioned before that sometimes you need to use certain pronunciations for certain things. This is one of those times 
It would be incorrect to say “shijuu” for 40, or “shichijuu” for 70. I’m not sure why that is, but it is

This is a good blog
I recommended you in http://basicmmforum01.sanriotown.com/scripts/mb2/mb2.cgi?rm=show_topic&topic_id=10417&start=480 because people are trying to learn japanese there. I used to watch a lot of X-Files, but didn’t feel like watching the movie.
