Dates of the Month: 1 – 31
This page contains dates of the month 1 – 31 in Japanese.
Just like our ordinal numbers are different from cardinal numbers in English, Japan has a different system for numbers of the month. There is no easy way around these tongue twisters, you just have to memorize them because they are used often in every day life. The best way to memorize them is to repeat them 7 to 10 times and try and not get frustrated when you forget them the next day. Just come back and practice them again. You’ll get them down over time.
