When learning a new language, one of the most important things is to get the numbers down. Whether you’re telling a new acquaintance how old you are, figuring out bus routes, ordering food in a restaurant, paying for a taxi, or bargaining in a local market, you’ll be totally lost without a firm grasp of the numbers. Here’s an easy to follow chart showing you how to count to 1,000 in Chinese:<\/p>\n

Let’s examine some things from the chart to give you a better understanding of how to count in Chinese.<\/p>\n
