Let’s discuss how we can learn numbers in Spanish in an easy way.
Learning numbers in Spanish is not that hard, and Multibhasi makes it a lot easier for you to learn with its awesome methods and techniques. Let us have a look at how Multibhashi teaches your numbers in Spanish in the easiest way. If you are wondering how to say “numbers” in Spanish, it’s “números”. The word for “number” in Spanish is “número”. Learning how to count numbers in Spanish is very easy because Spanish numbers follow a simple and predictable pattern that doesn’t require too much hard work to understand. Once you learn to count 10 in Spanish, then counting to 20, 30, 40….100 and beyond becomes easy for you.
Numbers are an essential requirement in our daily lives. While learning Spanish, the most important number that you need to learn is the first 15 numbers. If you are able to count till 15, then in very little time you will be able to master the rest of the numbers. As numbers from 1 to 15 are the foundation for every other number. For one to fifteen we use:
1 — uno, 2 — dos, 3 — tres, 4 — cuatro, 5 — cinco, 6 — seis, 7 — siete, 8 — ocho, 9 — nueve, 10 — diez, 11 — once, 12 — doce, 13 — trece, 14 — catorce, 15 — quince
Always try to use natural patterns in Spanish to learn numbers from 16 to 99. In English, we start constructing numbers with two parts after 19. We divide it like the tens value and the value of the ones. We do it in the same way for Spanish Numbers, but the pattern begins from 16 onwards. Once you have mastered this pattern, now you have to learn only the words for 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 to be able to count all the way to 99. For any number from 30-99, you need to simply start with the required tens values and tack on any plus the ending.
Counting from 100 and beyond just get’s more easier! 100 is called cien in Spanish and beyond that cien changes to ciento. For example: for 155 we say – ciento cincuenta y cinco. For 200 we use – doscientos, 300 – trescientos, 400 – cuatrocientos, 500 – quinientos and so on.
Before you have learned everything about Spanish numbers, let’s know about ordinal numbers in Spanish. Here we need to remember that we do not use ordinal numbers for dates in Spanish. But as we talk about directions, and who has won which position in any kind of competition, for that we use ordinal numbers. Let’s see few examples of ordinal numbers in Spanish. first — primer(o/a), second — segundo(a), third — tercer(o/a), fourth — cuarto(a), fifth — quinto(a), sixth — sexto(a), seventh — séptimo(a) , eighth — octavo(a), ninth — noveno(a), tenth — décimo(a) and so on.
Learning Spanish Numbers
To learn Spanish numbers easily you need to familiarize yourself with patterns. We need to pay attention to suffixes and the flow of words that connect together. Once you get familiar with the pattern, all other numbers that follow the same way will start making sense.
You need to focus less on the literacy aspect, reading, writing, and focusing more on the sound flow. Many new learners may face difficulties in spelling. But for that, you need to spend more time on the actual sounds themselves, and as you do so, you will pick these numbers up a lot faster.
Conclusion
Try to spend less time trying to read and write and try to spend more time listening and learning the numbers. Even after learning all the methods, the most important thing that we need to keep in mind is “Practice”. You need to practice the patterns and become fluent. And Multibhashi is there to help you out in every situation. So don’t let fear hold you back from learning Spanish numbers. Just trust Multibhasi and spread your wings to fly off to a new world of different languages.
