Thanks for the ebook... I once went to a friends' house and in their study room was a book on the counters Mandarin uses... It was a thick as a a volume of an encyclopedia. You are right that you do not need to know all of them but it is really important to know the ones you need to.

Hello Everyone,
I attended the class and it was very fun and educational too, I guess :P . I find the e-book to be very useful also. Great work you do Koichi先生 and very consistent. Good teacher, he is, very. Seriously！

Hey, what about these exceptions? 十四日（じゅうよっか）、十七日（じゅうしちにち only)、二十日（はつか）二十四日（にじゅうよっか）と二十七日（にじゅうしちにち only）
It is not so straight forward after 十日 as you say.

Click on the text that says ☆Japanese Counters e-Book☆
It's not link-colored, unfortunately.

Great guide! counters were always a bit difficult to grasp for me.
I just noticed though in the minutes on the guide there's a typo, it says ろっぷん, but the romaji says "rokupun".

English has counters my friend. It's a little different than Japanese counters, but we have them. I'll show you. one *sheet* of paper. two *bottles* of beer. and so on. We probably don't have as many, but would you not consider these counters?

Possibly? The actual number isn't changing, so idk.

How do you count things under the "things that have no counter or have a ridiculously obscure one" above ten? Do you just use the regular ol' Sino-japanese number? For example, would セーターを二十一買った (セーター・をにじゅういち・かった） be just as valid as セーターを二つ買った (セーター・を・ふたつ・かった)?
