    In this section you will learn numbers. To study the vocabulary for the numbers from 0-100+ below, we recommend you make flashcards for numbers 0-20 then the tens up through 100. Remember Spanish in Red, English in Blue (and use the numbers, not the English words to help you learn easily). Say them aloud and pay attention to spelling. Notice that you may spell numbers from 16-29 in two ways. After 30, you will spell them using the tens place and (y) (the word for “and”) ones place. Keep this summary of number related vocabulary with you as you listen and watch the videos. Seeing the spelling as you listen to the words helps reinforce the pronunciation and recall of the words.

    Unos números Some numbers Más números More numbers
    cero 0 quince 15
    uno 1 diez y seis / dieciséis 16
    dos 2 diez y siete /diecisiete 17
    tres 3 diez y ocho / dieciocho 18
    cuatro 4 diez y nueve / diecinueve 19
    cinco 5 veinte 20
    seis 6 veinte y uno / veintiuno 21
    siete 7 veinte y dos / veintidós 22
    ocho 8 veinte y tres / veintitrés 23
    nueve 9 veinte y cuatro / veinticuatro 24
    diez 10 veinte y cinco /veinticinco

    25

    once 11 veinte y seis / veintiséis 26
    doce 12 veinte y siete / veintisiete 27
    trece 13 veinte y ocho / veintiocho 28
    catorce 14 veinte y nueve / veintinueve 29
    Notice now that there is 1 way to spell the numbers      
    treinta 30
    treinta y uno 31 cuarenta 40
    treinta y dos 32 cincuenta 50
    treinta y tres 33 sesenta 60
    treinta y cuatro 34 setenta 70
    treinta y cinco 35 ochenta 80
    treinta y seis 36 noventa 90
    treinta y siete 37 cien (100) / ciento (101-199) 100
    treinta y ocho 38 doscientos 200
    treinta y nueve 39 trescientos 300

    Observa los videos 1.2.6, 1.2.7,1.2.8. As mentioned in the previous unit, some of the videos are geared toward the elementary grades; but as a first time learner of a second or third language, it may be a confidence builder to start with simple videos and songs to help you remember.

    Práctica: Write the answers in words rather than numbers. (ie: cero instead of 0)

    1. ¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono? ____________________________________________
