How to count to ten in Mandarin

OK here we go we are going to start with zero.

0 - zero = ling(l-ing) (don't freak out zero has no symbol

1 - one = yee (y-ee)

2 - two = uhr (ur)

3 - three = sahn (san)

4 - four = suh (s-z)

5 - five = woo (w-oo)

6 - six = lyo (l-y-oo)

7 - seven = chee (ch-ee)

8 - eight = bah (ba)

9 - nine = jyo (j-y-oo)

10 - ten = shi (sure)
