11 juu ichi じゅういち 十一

Eleven is じゅういち (juu ichi), built as ten plus one. You will hear it in room numbers, platform numbers, and prices. When counting items with counters, じゅういち comes first and the counter follows, for example 十一枚 for eleven sheets. Keep the timing even across じゅう and いち so it does not blur. Drill it with the audio until it feels automatic.
