SPANISH NUMBERS

LOS NÚMEROS EN ESPAÑOL

¡Hola everybody! ¿Cómo están Ustedes? We are happy you could join us for Spanish numbers!

Spanish numbers are soooo important!! You need them to buy things of course. How will you be able to buy things for souvenirs if you don't understand the price? You also need them for dates. You can't catch your plane home if you don't know what the date is. If you ask somebody what the date is and they tell you in Spanish, you better understand or you'll be there forever!  Click on the numbers to hear what they sound like.

Want some help remembering these? OK, here you go!

 

Millipedes have 1,000 legs. Millipedes start with MIL, just like 1,000.

 

Centipedes have 100 legs. Centipedes almost start with CIEN, the number for 100.

 

An octopus has 8 legs. The word ocho in Spanish means 8. Octo is kind of like ocho.

 

Now that you've learned ocho, you can learn ochenta which means eighty. Ochenta starts with the same three letters as ocho.

 

Cinco sounds like the word sink with an O at the end. Imagine you live in a house with five sinks.

 

Uno can remind you of the card game Uno. When you have one card left, you yell out UNO!

 

Dos isn't hard to remember either. Think of do-si-do. To do-si-do in square dancing, you need two people. Dos people!

 

PRACTICE TIME!

1. You are at a store in Mexico and the person asks you for cuatro dollars. How much should you give them?

2. At a restaurant the waitress says your bill comes to cincuenta dollars. How much should you give her?

3. What costs more money? Treinta pesos or cuarenta pesos?

4. You are from Spain and get diez euros a week for allowance. How many euros are you getting?

5. At the grocery store you have a coupon for veinte percent off your total. What percentage are you going to save?
