Yeah, and don't freak out. When is comes to this stuff, it will just sort of "feel" natural to say kuji instead of kyuji.

You'll also discover the wonderful world of japanese "counters". Things in japanese get counters depending on whether it's people, socks, paper, bowling balls and so on. For example, long cylinder like objects will be counted different than flat ones like a train ticket or piece of paper. Like 2 bottles of beer (cylinder like): biru NI HON.
