Earlier in my life I was learning Ninjutsu and received a couple black belts I love everything about Japan and its culture.My question is when I learned to count in Japanese for drills the number 7 was pronounced sechi now on duolingo it is pronounced nana. Can someone help there are other words that are different also.

Hi, nice to meet you.
"4" has also multiple pronounce "yon" and "shi"
and "sechi" isn't correct..
"shichi"

Thank you so much I am planning a trip to Japan and do not want to appear foolish

for example :

I have 4 (something) : yotsu no (something) motteimasu
April = Shi-gatsu

I’m 7 years old : nana-sai desu
July : shichi-gatsu

but I wouldn’t worry about it too much especially if it’s just a short trip, just use your fingers for numerals

better to brush up on basic greetings and questions though
