<br>
<blockquote><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>
<p>Learning to count
and use numbers as values is very important in day to day living.&nbsp;
Immediate recognition of an amount and its value only comes through practice.&nbsp;
Even at the beginning of second grade, a normal child will make errors
counting to a hundred in their native language.&nbsp; Many children's games
include counting - hide and seek, 99 bottles of beer on the wall, rhymes,
jump rope, to name a few.
<p>As an adult learner
of a second language you are probably not interested in counting while
jumping rope.&nbsp; However, many of you do exercises in the morning and
count.&nbsp; So, count in Chinese.&nbsp; Count while you cook - that could
prove interesting at the beginning!
<p>Once you have a beginning
mastery of order, you want to begin to <i>see</i> the numbers in Chinese.&nbsp;
When you look at a '6' you want to be able to say 'liu4' directly without
intermediate translation.&nbsp; A good way to develop the skill is to look
at random numbers and try to say them as fast as you can.&nbsp; One way
to do this is while you are riding in a bus or car (as the passenger, please)
watch the license plates of the on-coming cars and say the plate numbers
in Chinese .&nbsp; At first you might only recite the simple numbers, later
express the numbers in hundreds and thousands.
<p>Other places to look
for numbers:
<ul>
<li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the
index of a nice thick book</li>

<li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; prices
in the grocery store</li>

<li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; your
lottery ticket</li>

<li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; your
checkbook and bank statement</li>

<li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print the random number tables at the bottom of this page</li>
<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OR, you can play the <a href="../games/number_game/number_game.html">Speed Number</a> game, which presents you with random numbers -- you say them as fast as you can, then click for the next number.&nbsp;  You can judge your speed with the timer provided.&nbsp;  When you can say small numbers as fast as in your native language, move on to larger numbers.
</li>
</ul>
When learning to count,
don't worry if it gets to be sing-song and automatic.&nbsp; That is how
you recite the numbers in your native language as well.&nbsp; Gradually,
because 68 always follows 67 as you recite, 68 comes to mean larger.
<p>A good foundation
in the numbers will make dates, time, and phone numbers much easier.&nbsp;
If you are calling someone's beeper to leave a message - you have to give
their number in Chinese.&nbsp; Once you have begun to master the numbers,
the <a href="../topics/money/douying.html">Currency Topic pages</a> have a collection of amounts of money for listening practice
and they will help you to learn to say the numbers in combination.
