Numbers, Time, and Days of the Week
Before we get too much further into grammar and verb conjugation, I thought it would be a good idea to teach numbers, time, days of the week, etc.

Numbers after 10 are a piece of cake once you know 1 through 10. 11 is simply ten with a one after it, 十一 (じゅういち, juuichi), 12 - juuni, 13 - juusan, 14 - juuyon, etc. 20 is simply 二十 (にじゅう, nijuu), 21 - nijuuichi, and so forth.
Put these numbers in front of the character for time 時 and you've got the time of the day.

Now just put the character for moon 月 after a number and you've got a month.

Days of the week don't follow such an easy pattern but here they are anyway along with some other time-related words.
