2. Last lesson we did the numbers, I need to teach about the liang (3rd tone) 两,
when we do numbers, i.e. date and month, or telephone number, we count by 一二三四.........
when we count objects (including counting people), we count by 一个、两个、三个、四个.........

个(ge1) is a quantifier
there are a few different quantifiers for different things (can be objects, people or animals)

e.g. 一只猫 one cat

will talk more about the quantifiers when we get to it in the lessons.
