1. 一 [yuht] - say it with an exclamation mark. like this, "Yuht!" but quickly and shortly.

3. 三 [sahm]
4. 四 [say]

6. 六 [looke] - It is like a cross between look and loke. Say it like "yuht!"

9. 九 [gow] - As with 五 [mmm], the word rises at the end.
10. 十 [sup] - say it like, "What's sup", except make the "u" sound more like an extended "a". Emphasis on the "sup
