    Can you come back and translate for me? I have 2 chinese students and with 1 mom doesn't speak english. All I know from them so far is 1-5, which actually helps seeing you write it out and hi

    Ha, don't know if I know enough chinese other than to greet them, but I could try! 14 is /SIs@/, or "Shi Seuh". 24 would be /aRSIs@/, or "ahr shi seuh".
