Is this your lesson plan idea? It looks awesome. What grade level is it for? It looks like a longer term project than 3 lessons. Though I am sure the students will learn much faster than Me. I guess you would only be learning 10 numbers which is do able.

I used this to teach beginners to catch their attention. It takes approximately one hour for them to be able to say their telephone number in Chinese.

Like I said, students would learn faster than me. That is awesome though. I know I can at least count to 10 in three languages. Part of the fun will be for them to learn to write the numbers too. Great idea
