Domo arigatō Mr. Roboto

どうもありがとうミスターロボット (Domo arigatō Mr. Roboto...thank you very much, Mr. Roboto)
I received a package yesterday from Amazon.com that included a Japan Culture Smart book along with a beginner's Japanese book and CD. Needless to say, I have a lot to learn and read before leaving in 18 days (yikes!!!). Here's what I've learned so far...
Basic Japanese phrases: numbers
1-ichi
2-ni
3-san
4-shi, yon (not sure why there are two words, guess I'll find out later)
5-go
6-roku
7-shichi, nana
8-hachi
9-kyuu, ku
10-juu
To state "#1, #2" etc., combine the number with ban. My favorite (and the only) Japanese restaurant when I lived in Tupelo was called Ichiban...funny that I never knew what it meant until now!
Add ji to each number to express the time: 1:00-ichiji

Random language sidenote (there's the Spanish teacher in me coming out). When "studying" in Mexico, I found it interesting to learn that the English equivalent to "Cheers" is "Salud" in Spanish, which means "health". "Cheers" in Japanse is "Kampai", which means "dry cup". Go figure...and go here to find out how to say "Cheers" in other languages. You never know when you might need to toast someone!
