Seven in Mandarin

We’re nearly at 10. Keep going!

Seven is easy. Say ‘Chee’, and write an upside-down ‘F’. That’s it!

So, to recap, one to seven is:
“ee, er, s-un, s, oo, l-ee-oh, ch-ee”. Chant it while counting it on your fingers a few times and your brain will absorb it better.

About this page

Living in Taiwan for two and a half years got me interested in learning Mandarin Chinese. I’m not very good at it yet, but one day hope to be able to read, write, listen and speak fluently. This page documents my progress, and will hopefuly help others on the same journey, as well.
