Japanese Numbers Review
Konnichiwa! Japanese numbers are fun to write but the large numbers are not easy to understand. Paying for things in Japan can be difficult when something around US$150 dollar is 23,626 yen. These videos are in 3 levels. The answer to the third advanced video will be in a comment below. Let me know if these videos are useful. Then I can make more like them. :) Ganbatte kudasai!! Joe Sensei. P.S. Thanks for the suggestion @Fenny Kirmil. Let me know if you need something else.
