111 - Hyaku-ju-Ichi ( 100 is Hyaku, 10 is Ju, 1 is Ichi)
222 - Ni-Hyaku-Ni-Ju-Ni (200 is Ny-Hyaku, 20 Is Ni-Ju, 2 Is Ni)
333 - San-Hyaku-San-Ju-San (300 Is San-Hyaku, 30 Is San-Ju, 3 is San)

Just wanted to help on one thing. When you start to get in to triple digits 3 and 6, change the hundreds and thousands. 8 changes hundreds

For example
three would be

3333 san zen san byaku san ju san

Six and Eight are diffident form 3 as well

6666 roku san roku pyaku roku ji roku
8888 hass sen hap pyaku hachi ji hachi

Sen is Thousand, Hyaku is Hundred but pared up with one of this three changes the first sound.

Also in Japanese when you get to 10,000 you start mon. In Japanese there is no million only 100 mon (hyaku-mon) basically 100 ten thousands.

If there is any thing else you wish to know just post it here I'm always around to help as is some other Japan Forum user's that know Japanese.

It's "man," not "mon." ^_^;;;

Also, be careful of pronounciation of numbers, there are times when it is different from what would be expected.

For example:

Sanbyaku, not Sanhyaku
Roppyaku, not Rokuhyaku
Happyaku, not Hachihyaku
Sanzen, not Sansen
