Lesson 1 - Numbers (01) (ZH)

Here are the numbers in Chinese:

Counting from 1 to 10:

1. 一 (yī) (yes, Chinese '1' is just one stroke!)

2. 二 (èr) 

3. 三 (sān)

4. 四 (sì)

5. 五 (wǔ)

6. 六 (liù)

7. 七 (qī)

8. 八 (bā)

9. 九 (jiǔ)

10. 十 (shí)

11-19 rule:

10+something, for example:

11. 十 一 (shíyī)

15. 十 五 (shíwǔ)

(notice that I wrote them together in pinyin: 'shíyī', NOT 'shí yī')

20, 30, 40... rule:

something+10, for example:

20. 二 十 (èrshí)

70. 七 十 (qīshí)

21, 45, 93 etc. rule:

something+10+something, for example:

56. 五 十 六 (wǔshíliù)
83. 八 十 三 (bāshísān)

100: 百 (bǎi)

0: 零 (líng)

Conclusion: Chinese 1-100 counting is very simple and easy to understand - and you only have to learn 12 characters to write them down!
