So of course I'm here to ask about Japanese.

I want to know how to write numbers 1-1,000,000. Also how to pronounce them. Starting small so thats all for now.

1 - ichi
2 - (pronounced "ni" but not sure how it's spelt)
3 - san
4 - chi
5 - (pronounced "doe" but not sure how it's spelt)

300, 600 & 800 are slightly different

300 = Sambyaku
600 = Roppyaku
800 = Happyaku

400 = Yonhyaku (and not Shihyaku)
700 = Nanahyaku (and not Shichihyaku) [and same for 4000 & 7000]

3000 = Sanzen
8000 = Hassen

now I need
days of the week
seasons
Greetings
Misc
Anything that will expand my limited vocabulary.

Seiryuu · (#9 (**permalink**))

Add (曜日；ようび) to the end of these for days of the week:

月；げつ - Monday
火；か - Tuesday
水；すい - Wednesday
木；もく - Thursday
金；きん - Friday
土；ど - Saturday
日；にち - Sunday

Seasons:

春；はる - spring
夏；なつ - summer
秋；あき - autumn
冬；ふゆ - winter

That's all I'll do for now.

Ok I'm sorry I didn't specify. I wish to learn to speak japanese before learning to write it.
