More about Yek

Yek is one, the first word of the count: yek, do, se. The course calls it the first glass on the tray, and you hear it that way in the lessons, as the start of a count out loud: Yek, do! Yek, do, se, chahar. It is taught in Module 3, lesson 1, in the lesson called One, two, three. When you are ordering one of something, the course uses Ye instead, as in Ye chai, lotfan, so Yek is the counting word and Ye is the everyday one. Keeping those two jobs apart early saves confusion later.
