Many thanks for this Qingwen. I previously had a concept of these large numbers and constantly avoided them!
Also "4000 years of history Connie, how do we say that..." "5000!" haha really made me smile on the way to work, people must have thought i was crazy smiling away to myself!
Again.... thanks!

Posted on: The New News and Features Jingle Contest Winner!
September 28, 2008 at 2:22 AMI really liked the Carl Douglas take on "News & Features". Although to be honest anything is better than the old jingle! - Well done Michael.
As for They Might Be Giants, i think the TV Programme "Malcolm in the Middle" uses one of their songs as its theme tune. A good band.
Looking forward to the coming weeks lessons, thanks again guys!

September 18, 2008 at 11:30 PMWow Kien, thats very indepth!
When i need to count i will use "yi" i.e one of those, or one apple.
The use of "yao" comes into play when simply listing numbers, such as a hotel room number or a telephone number.
This might not be the correct reason, but its how my brain works, id be interested if someone could confirm the correct way.
