hi friends so glad you're here today on today's lesson of the language tutor i'm going to give you the numbers in spanish okay after today's lesson you're going to be able to count as high as you want to go as high as you want so we're going to take the numbers in sections a lot of people have heard the numbers 1 through 10 so we'll just start with that you may already know these you may not but let's start with those let's start with zero now on the number zero all you do is change the z to a c and you have zero zero all right one is uno uno two push your tongue four a little bit with the d dos dos three is tres tres four is cuatro cuatro remember that c u is what's making that choi sound and then five is cinco cinco practice those uno dos tres cuatro all the way up just get in that repetition but i want to encourage you to do something once you have the ability to start with 0 and go all the way to 10. i want to encourage you to stop and go out of order because what happens a lot of times is we as we learn uno dos tres cuatro cincos we learn it as a pattern of sounds it's almost like learning the lyrics of a song it you just you hear a new song on the radio and before you know it you're singing along right and so we're learning things as a pattern of sounds and we're not actually learning the words or the numbers for what they are a good example of this is when my daughter was young i spoke all french to her when she was a toddler because i wanted her to grow up speaking french and one day i had her go through the numbers in french one through ten but then i asked her in french how do you say eight and she kind of looked at me puzzled and then stopped and went uh read and then i realized oh she had to go through the song to get to that number and i said okay now we got to step back and learn the numbers for what they are so you should be able to say seven siete nine nueve four cuatro so go out of order once you get those down you're gonna you're gonna be fine you'll do great now let's take 11 through 15 together because they all end in the same two letters c e okay so 11 is on se on se it looks like once doesn't it twelve dos se dos e thirteen tres se trese now 15 we have a q u we have a q u what does a q u sound like and we talked about the rule q u equals k so just in your mind replace that q u with a with a k and i'll say all right so let's do it one more time all right now 16 through 19 i want you to think about the word die in english dai is spelled d-i-e right so a lot of times i'll have my students say die ci die ci and weird makes no sense but they learn it that way so i say what do you remember and they say die ci so that's helps you'll get it so di ci and so what you're doing here it it comes out as dsc bsc so the dye the ici helps us spell it but you pronounce it dse now what really happens here if you got the if you if you sort of draw this out the s is 10 and so e the letter y means and so you're really saying 10 and but what happens is we combine them together and that z is going to change to a c the y turns into an i and we have dsc but it comes out sounding like 10 and so you're saying 10 and 6 10 and 7 10 and 8 10 and 9 there you go sixteen dse safes seventeen dsc 18 dsc ocho in 19 let's do it one more time say them after me dies he says all right and look we're already at 20. it's so easy you got it for 20 i want to start by showing you this english word they run up and down through our body veins right vein e v-e-i-n just think about that word v-e-i-n vein and all we have to do is put a t-e at the end of it and now we have say this after me vente veinte all right um and a lot of times i'll have students when they're learning spell that v-i-e and i'll say wait a minute wouldn't that be viente and they go oh yeah that's right so remember to spell it e-i to get the a sound then thick all right so that's 20 all we have to do is this when we go to 21 through 29 see that last e right there all we got to do is go and change that to an i and now we have the root for 21 through 29 uno you're just saying 20 and one ventidos venti tres venti and we're already to 30. now at 30 something magical happens we follow a pattern it's really easy all we have to do now is learn the tens 30 40 50 60 70 80 and 90 and we're going to be able to count all the way up to 99 and with one other word we're going to be able to go to 199 okay so let's get those tens down 30 also has an ei e.i 40. got that qua sound again with a c 50 take that little route from five and you got it cincuenta cincuenta sixty se centa se centa all right now that brings us all the way up to 99 if we can start to put those in between numbers together and guess what we're going to do it the same way as we do in english we just have one little thing to remember if we want to say the numbers between 30 and 40 in between 40 and 50 etcetera all we have to do is remember the word and the letter y and it's pronounced in context we don't say igriega because that's really just the name of the letter right we just say e it sounds like the letter i almost okay so if we're going to say let's put 34 up there 34. all we're going to do is do the same thing we do in english we take the word for 30 take the word for 4 but we're just going to put the letter y in there because it's 30 and 4. so we have this cuatro that's all you got to remember so we don't say 34 we say 30 and 4. we don't say 56 we say 50 and 6 like this let's try 75 just think about 75 for a second okay 70 and 5. now let's try two more just getting a little practice all right 88 okay 80 and eight and let's do 94 90 and four noventa e cuatro there you go and that takes us all the way up to 99. see how fast you're learning to count it's great let's get the hundreds numbers now 100 by itself is cn that's if you were just going to say the number 100 cn but if i'm going to say 101 or 130 100 and anything else i'm gonna use siento siento okay so let's try 120 we just simply say siento vente siento vente now what if we were going to say 199 199 that 90 remember where the 90 goes sometimes students get confused we're okay wait where did the and go just do the same we did with tens with the tens numbers a while ago ninety and nine so one hundred ninety and nine siento noventa e nueve okay those the word and is always gonna go in between the ones and the tens numbers or the 1000 and the 10 000 or the 1 million and the 10 million that goes in between those each time all right 200 is very easy friends because we just simply take the word to and we put the word siento 100 on it but it's plural see in spanish they're thinking two hundreds three hundreds unlike our germanic one hundred two hundred okay so two hundred sientos 300 tres sientos and i bet you can guess what 400 is already cuatro sientos i'm gonna skip five for a second six seis sientos now go to 800. ochocientos okay now why did i skip five and seven and i didn't go to nine because they're troublemakers they're not going to follow the rule okay we always got rule breakers in in languages so 500 is actually going to go back to its latin root queen clay qu it's going to go back to that latin root so it's going to bring in that q-u-i so here it is all right so just look at the spelling a lot of people look at that word and find it intimidating to spell it's not me entosis not that bad come to seven now for 700 the only thing we have to do is remember that we're just going to pull that i out okay just like we did with 70. we didn't put an i in 70 either so it's cette sientos sientos and that brings us to 900 just like 90 it also is going to use its latin root noven to say uh 900 so it's nove sientos novecientos okay now let's think about it we get those down we can count pretty high right now okay now the word from million is and that really takes us probably about as far as we want to sit and count in one sitting okay but i do want to tell you one thing about dates if you're saying the date as in the year you actually say it like you would in number form so i was married in 1993 so you would say 1993 like this okay i was born in 71 1971 okay so now all you got to do is just put those numbers together and you got it friends be working on those numbers and then again in a different lesson we're going to put the numbers with the dates and we're going to our the months and we're going to learn how to write dates okay i'll see you next time on the language tutor friends thanks for watching the language tutor if you have a question
