Guess English will have to replace it then: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and TEN!
That is all I know.. Even my three year old daughter knows more than me! (Sign, English and French!)
English: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Español: Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, nueve, diez.
I kind of wish I knew more languages. But I suppose there's not much reason to know anything other than English when you live in the U.S.

@TheDarkHero3: The "o" in one is important to the sound of the word. Also vowels aren't moved most of the time.

[quote=bored741258963]Wow. Your Arabic is like perfect. Do you, by chance, live in the Middle East Area? So far I'm finding Korean difficult too. But it seems to be such an interesting language. [/quote]
No, I don't live in a mid east area but I am Arabic. I think Arabic is extremely hard to perfect unless you are Arabic. Korean is hard for sure but I always wanted to learn one Asian language and since Korean had an alphabet system, I decided to learn how to read it. It is very easy to read. I learned all the vowels and consonants in three days and then after that, I could read any Korean text though I wouldn't understand what I read You should try to learn how to read and write. As for knowing what the words mean and stuff, that is very hard to do and you have to really work hard to learn speaking.
Arabic: Yajubu an usali salat al thuhur al an. La illah illa lah, Mohammedun rassulu allah.
English, spanish and japanese to ten. Thats about it
[quote=TheDarkHero3]English: I learned most of them during breaks like Winter/March Break. Korean was probably the hardest to learn anyway BTW Sino Korean is so similar to mandarin numbers so since I already learned the mandarin numbers at school from my friends, sino was really easy to pickup.
Arabic: (: Ana ta'lamtu mu'thamhum fill ijazat mithl ijaza al shi ta' ow ijaza mars. Alargam al korea hue asab wuhda lilta'lum fi ai hal. Al kori al sino huwa mith al argaam al sinia wa ana talumtha(al argaam al sinia) fi il madrassa min asdiqai fa al kori al sino kan sahlan jidan lil talum.[/quote]
