872000 877000 Many speakers do not like using the number liang too many times in succession. 877000 882000 Therefore, they switch from liang to r after the first digit. 882000 887000 You'll hear this often in speech and we'll be using it for the rest of the tape. 887000 891000 Now take a look at display four, which shows numbers in the ten thousands. 891000 893000 Listen to the speaker say them. 893000 908000 一万,两万,三万,四万,五万,六万,七万,八万,九万. 908000 917000 Notice that the numbers 一,七,八, change from high tone to rising tone before the falling tone of one, the word for ten thousand. 917000 921000 Repeat ten thousand, literally one ten thousand. 921000 926000 一万,一万. 926000 930000 You'll notice that the number two is again liang. 930000 933000 Repeat twenty thousand or two ten thousand. 933000 938000 两万,两万. 938000 943000 Repeat thirty thousand, forty thousand, fifty thousand. 943000 949000 三万,四万,五万. 949000 954000 三万,四万,五万. 954000 958000 How would you say sixty thousand?
