Japanese Japanese Start Learning Writing Japanese Culture From Namiko Abe, your Guide to Japanese Have you heard about "Kuku"? "Kuku" is a Japanese method for memorizing multiplication tables by using a rhythmic chant. Japanese students are supposed to learn "Kuku" by heart in the second grade. For example, "two times three equals six" is said as, "Ni-san-ga-roku," which refers to "two-three-six". Try listening some examples of "Kuku". Just as the name implies, "Kuku" goes all the way to "ku-ku-hachijuuichi (9 x 9 = 81)". The short phrases and rhythm of the kuku make it easier to memorize. Most Japanese memorize and use them for the rest of their lives. Do you have something like "Kuku" in your country?
