Here are some pointers to
help you out!
Elf = 11. Think of an elf
only 11 inches tall.
Zwölf = 12. Think of
the big bad wolf that ate 12 zebras. Z for zebra + wolf gets you zwölf.
Hundert = 100. Think of the
first four letters - Hund. It's the same four letters for 100 in both English
and German.
Neun = 9. Think of how nine
begins with a 'n' sound and ends with a 'n' sound. So does neun.
Tausend =1,000. Think of
a kid named Tau who likes to send 1,000 things to different places. Tau +
send = 1,000.
Null = 0. Think of a gull
who liked to eat a witch's doughnuts. One day she caught him and wanted to
turn him into nothingness (N for nothingness), but she wasn't very powerful
and could only change him halfway. He lost his 'g' and gained the 'n' from
nothingness. Now he is called null and looks like a doughnut.
Eins = 1. Einstein's favorite
number is eins (1). Well, actually we don't know if it was, but it helps
you remember it, right?
How well do you know your
numbers??
