French Numbers!

2-4-6-8! What do we appreciate? Numbers! You can't speak French well if you don't know numbers. How else will you do math without numbers? If you move to France, you won't be able to do your math problems if you don't know them. You won't be able to buy things either because you won't understand how much things cost. Have fun and learn your numbers!

Tips :)

100 cents make a dollar. Cent is the word for 100!

 

If you ran 1,000 miles you would be exhausted. Well, good news! Mille is the word for 1,000, very close to mile!

 

Douze is similar to the word 'dozen' in English. How many is in a dozen? Can you remember? That's right! 12!

 

Un means one. Think of a unicycle. A unicycle only has one wheel and starts with the word 'un'.

 

Six is the easiest number in French!! It is exactly the same!

 

80 in French means 4 "20s". Get it? 4 x 20 = 80. Brilliant!

 

Trois starts out similar to triangle. They both have 'tr'. A triangle has three corners, an easy way to remember the word trois.
