("I'm fine, thanks.") ("Thank you very much.") ("Excuse me.") ("Sorry.") ("I understand.") ("I don't know.") The numerals 1 through 10 are written in Kanji. They are pronounced using different combinations of the same 46 sounds that are used to pronounce all Japanese characters. Practice counting to ten: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) Buy an English - Japanese dictionary and practice pronouncing different words and phrases until you're comfortable with the sounds. Having this foundation will help you excel when you take your Japanese to the next level by signing up for some classes.
A: Practice Japanese greetings. Learn some conversational phrases. Learn numbers. Explore more complicated words and phrases.

Article: Run a quick search for "comic book conventions" or "comic book trade shows" followed by the name of your town or city and make sure you calender is clear on that day. Don't worry if you're too late to make the closest upcoming datebigger cities often host multiple events per year. Read up on the rules of the convention or trade show you plan on attending before you show up. Some events are free of charge and open to all, while others may require you to purchase a special ID badge in order to access the designated seller's area. San Diego Comic Con is the biggest and most well-known annual comic book convention in the U.S., but there are lots of other conventions both big and small where you're sure to find a wealth of Marvel titles to drool over, including WonderCon, DragonCon, and Comicpalooza. The sellers at comic book conventions will almost always be carrying the latest issues of many popular series. Some may also have older and more obscure titles up for grabs. Take your time browsing the selections at each booth, as it's not unusual for vendors to stock thousands of comics at large conventions and trade shows. Comic book conventions are arguably the best place in the world to track down rare issues. Most vendors sell comics from many different publishers, but others specialize in one particular company or another. While you're wandering the floor, look for the trademark red Marvel Comics logo to identify a vendor that's got the goods. When you're satisfied with your haul, present your comics to the person manning the booth to check out. These days, most vendors are equipped with card readers that will allow you to pay using a credit or debit card. If the booth you're buying from doesn't have a card reader, it may be necessary to pay with cash. Venues typically have ATM machines on the premises for convention-goers who need to make a withdrawal. Be aware that convention vendors may charge a separate sales tax for their wares on top of the listed sticker price, depending on where you live. If you're not happy with the price of an item, try haggling with the vendor. They may be willing to go down a bit if your negotiation skills are strong enough.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Look up conventions or trade shows taking place in your area. Head over to a vendor selling Marvel Comics titles. Purchase the titles you want directly from the vendor.

Q: The zero multiplication facts are the easiest because every number multiplied by 0 always equals zero. For example 0 x 1 = 0, 0 x 5 = 0, 0 x 8 = 0, etc. The one multiplication facts are easy to learn because when you multiply a number by 1, it is equal to that number. Remember, zero is the exception to this. For example: 1 x 2 = 2, 1 x 4 = 4, 1 x 7 = 7, etc. When learning the multiplication facts for the number two, you may realize that the number being multiplied by 2 is simply added to itself. Instead of memorizing all of the numbers, just add the number to itself and you have learned the multiplication facts for the number two! For example 2 x 4 = 8, but 4 + 4 = 8. The same goes for every other number, 2 x 3 = 6 (3 +3 =6), 2 x 5 = 10 (5 + 5 = 10), etc. The last digit of the product ends in either a 5 or a 0. The pattern starts with 5 and alternates with 0: 5, 0, 5, 0. For example: 5 x 1 = 5, 5 x 2 = 10, 5 x 3 = 15, 5 x 4 = 20, etc. There are two other tricks to help with the 5 facts as well: the product (1) is always half of 10 times that number and (2) is half the number times 10. For example: 5 x 4 = half of (10 x 4). 10 x 4 = 40, half of 40 is 20; 5 x 4 = 20. Another example: 5 x 4 = (half of 4) x 10, half of 4 is 2, 2 x 10 = 20; 5 x 4 = 20. A helpful hint for the 6 multiplication facts is knowing the last digit of the product. This trick only works for even numbers. When you multiply 6 by an even number, the last digit of the product will be that number. For example: 6 x 2 = 12, 6 x 4 = 24, 6 x 6 = 36, 6 x 8 = 48, etc. A quick trick for learning the 9 table is to multiply the number by 10, then subtract that number from the product for the final answer. For example: 9 x 4. First multiply 4 x 10 = 40. Then subtract 4 from 40 to get 36. 9 x 4 = 36. Another example: 9 x 8. 10 x 8 = 80, 80 8 = 72. 9 x 8 = 72. Note the two numbers in the product will add up to 9! For 9 x 4 = 36, 3 + 6 = 9. For 9 x 8 = 72, 7 + 2 = 9. This works for numbers 2 9. The multiplication facts for 11 are pretty simple until you reach the number 10. Simply repeat the number you are multiplying by for the final answer. After 9, you need to memorize that 11 x 10 is 110, and 11 x 12 is 132.For example: 11 x 2 = 22, 11 x 3 = 33, 11 x 4 = 44, etc.
A:
Know that any number multiplied by 0 is simply 0. Recognize that any number multiplied by 1 is equal to itself. Add the number to itself for the 2 table. Recognize the pattern for the 5 table. Know that when you multiply an even number by 6, they end in the same digit. Multiply 10 x the number, then subtract the number for the 9 multiplication facts. Repeat the digit (up to 9) when multiplying by 11.
