Learn to count in Spanish, lesson 3

Hola! Welcome to Your Daily Pinch of Spanish. For the third lesson on numbers, I'm going to show you how to say the numbers from twenty to thirty.

If you want to see the previous lessons on numbers, they're right here, and here.

Let's get right to it! It's really simple, As always, to make it easier, the pronunciations have been provided in parenthesis (for more on pronunciation, click here):

20- (veh-een-teh) veinte

21- (veh-een-tee-oo-noh) veintiuno

22- (veh-een-tee-dohs) veintidós

23- (veh-een-tee-trehs) veintitrés

24- (veh-een-tee-coo-ah-troh) veinticuatro

25- (veh-een-tee-seen-coh) veinticinco

26- (veh-een-tee-seh-ees) veintiséis

27- (veh-een-tee-see-eh-teh) veintisiete

28- (veh-een-tee-oh-choh) veintiocho

29- (veh-een-tee-noo-eh-veh) veintinueve

30- (treh-een-tah) treinta

Did you notice? To count in the twenties you simply add the word 'veinti' to the numbers. It's that simple. Some of the numbers now also have an accent. As I told you before, all the accent is doing there is adding strength to that syllable.

My homework to you now is to count from one to thirty, so that you can refresh your memory and start putting it together in practice.

This is it for today! Up next, the numbers from thirty-one to ninety! Don't worry, I won't make you read and count all that; the construct for all those numbers is quite simple, you'll see.

Keep looking forward to new lessons here on Your Daily Pinch of Spanish! As always I hope you have enjoyed this lesson and that you found it useful.

Until next time!
