Now you really feel like you've become a part of Japan. The father of your Japanese friend owns a store that sells artificial silk flowers and he has asked you to help her take inventory at his store. "What are we going to do?" you ask her on the way. "We're going to count each separate inventory item in the store," she explains in Japanese. Then we will give the information to my father who will match the information with that in the computer. If the numbers match, fine; if not, we have to recount to make sure we have an exact count of each inventory item." "So this is an important part of business in Japan?" you ask. She replies in Japanese, "It's an important part of business everywhere. My father's silk flowers come from all over Japan, and some are very expensive. We must know the inventory." Well, they must trust your ability to count in Japanese if they're going to trust you with something as important as inventory. Arriving at the store, you are suddenly overwhelmed. You tell your friend in Japanese, "You did not tell me your father's flower store was this HUGE!" Hesitant, your friend shyly replies in Japanese, "Well, you will get plenty of practice counting in Japanese. And once we're finished with the inventory, my father will take us out for a big, wonderful, Japanese dinner with lots of food and sake."Learning Japanese with JapanesePod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Japanese!

"How about forty-two?" you ask in Japanese; you've always liked the way forty-two sounds in Japanese. They look at you as if you're working with an odd number of chopsticks. "You know...," you say, "The number forty-two, like in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; the answer to life, the universe, and everything." Now they're sure you've got a screw loose. "Japanese numbers have meaning," they explain in Japanese, "Some Japanese numbers are unlucky, and some are very lucky. Some are lucky depending on when you were born. Haven't you picked out your lucky and unlucky Japanese numbers?" You confess this is all news to you and you haven't the slightest notion of what's lucky and unlucky in Japanese numbers. "What about a number between eleven and nineteen?" you ask, because those are the numbers you just learned in Japanese. "Well, it's time you began your introduction to the symbols of Japanese numbers," they say, and they lead you off to the computer, the modern-day numerologist to find your lucky and unlucky Japanese numbers.
