Bonjour et bienvenue à Learn French with Alexa. Today, folks, I will teach you how to count up to 20 in German. No, just kidding.
In French, bien sûr. So, here they are. Are you ready?
Count with me if you can. Deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix. Okay, shall we just repeat them again? Okay, repeat after me.
Répétez après moi. On est prêt? Here we go.
Un, deux... 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Now, this is fairly simple, isn't it? Just practice over and over and we'll get very good at them eventually. Try to count starting from a random number such as 3. Then carry on. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 7, 8, 9, 10. And so on.
Try to count them backwards. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. When you see a number in your streets, anywhere in the world, wherever you are, just ask yourself, what is this number in French? OK. So count the numbers from 1 to 10 again in French on your own.
Okay, are you ready? Here we go. Bravo. Well done. I think you've done well.
How was that? Really good? Superb. Très bien. Now, let me teach you the numbers from 10 to 20, okay?
I must admit that they are the hardest number you will encounter in French, okay? But once you know them, they will come very useful, especially when counting in the 70s and 90s. So, here we go.
Listen carefully. Écoutez attentivement. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Now, that was a little bit more challenging, wasn't it?
You will notice that 17, 18, 19 are... fairly easy to say. I like saying 10, 7, 10, 8, 10, 9. So listen, 17, 18, 19. Okay, well obviously you will have to know your numbers from 1 to 10 in order to be able to do that, but I'm sure you'll get there. That shouldn't be a big problem. Okay, let's repeat the numbers from 1, sorry, 10 to 20 again.
Listen carefully. Repeat after me. Répétez après moi.
Dix. Onze. Douze. Treize. Quatorze.
Quinze. Seize. Dix-sept.
Dix-huit. Dix-neuf. Vingt. Très bien. OK.
Now, how about you do that on your own? OK? Do you remember? The same way as we did with numbers 1 to 10. Here we go. Dix-neuf.
Vingt. Très bien. Well done.
Bravo. OK. Now let's repeat together all the numbers from 1 to 20. Now look at my mouth and the numbers and say 1, 2 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Bravo!
OK, how confident are you? Do you think you can count up to 20 now? Okay, here's a little game.
You will see some numbers appear on the screen. Can you tell me what the number is? Here we go.
Huit. Très bien. That's very good. Okay, here's another one. Hmm, tricky, huh?
Douze. Can you say that? Douze.
That's twelve. Here's another one. Très bien. Remember what I said?
Ten, seven. Dix-sept. Dix-sept. Here's another one. Vingt.
Vingt. Très bien. Another one. Trois. Bravo.
That was easy. Okay. Here's another game. Now you're going to see the numbers appear written, okay? As it is written down, I would like to tell me what number this is.
Here we go. Neuf is nine. Very good. Bravo. Here's another one.
Quatre. We read it. Quatre, not quatre. Okay? Quatre is four.
Well done. Quatre. And another one. Cinq. Très bien.
Cinq is five. And the last one? Seize. Which number says? Sixteen.
Well done. Very good. So, why don't you watch this video again?
Remember to practice, practice and practice even more, okay? And eventually you'll get there. Okay? That's it for me. Au revoir monsieur, madame ou mademoiselle.
A bientôt. Bisous bisous. Salut !
