Numbers in English

Living with English is not easy and that's fine. There is a certain area where it is harder to do so. Which is numbers! Phone numbers, arithmetic, multiplication table etc.



By the way, I heard that the best way to know someone's first language or dominant language is to have them count numbers. Basically people use their first language when counting numbers. I think that's very true. So, as a guy who has made English his first language, I need to count numbers in English. 

Currently, when I tell someone my phone number, I recall my phone number in Japanese and translate it into English. It is very hard to recall it in English directly. I noticed that numbers are more strongly connected to my Japanese language. Same thing happens when I think of arithmetic and multiplication table. 

​To condition my mind with English numbers, I started to create my new habit to count numbers in English. For example, I memorized my phone number in English, I count numbers in English when I do my daily push-ups both 
ascending and descending orders, I memorize all numbers in English from now on etc.

Things seem to be getting crazier and that's totally OK with me!
