Learning Mandarin - Numbers & Time

I'm so happy cos i've found my new Mandarin Language teacher.. Hehehe.. The teacher aka my colleague willing to teach me Mandarin for FREE.. Weee~
Thanks friend.. =)

And... Today learning is about Numbers and Time.
Ready?

Numbers

1 - Yi
2 - Er
3 - San
4 - Si
5 - Wu
6 - Liu
7 - Qi
8 - Ba
9 - Jiu
10 - Shi

Beyond that, the numbers move logically. For example:

11 - Shi Yi
12 - Shi Er
13 - Shi San
20 - Er Shi
30 - San Shi
31 - San Shi Yi
32 - San Shi Er

Time

Below are the phrases that you need to know,

O'clock - Dian
Half - Ban

So, the time can be form when = Numbers + Dian
Example:

3 O'clock - San Dian
7 O'clock - Qi Dian
7.30 - Qi Dian Ban
9.30 - Jiu Dian Ban
12.30 - Shi Er Dian Ban

That's all for now, hope you like it.. ^___^
Zhai jian! (goodbye)
