Spanish numbers
Spanish numbers are one of the first things a new student works on as they learn Spanish. Cardinal numbers in Spanish can be tricky at first, but they do follow a pattern. The first thing you'll typically study is the numbers from one to 10. Knowing these will help you learn the numbers up to one hundred since the numbers follow similar patterns. For instance, four in Spanish is 'cuatro.' Once you know that, it's easy to identify fourteen, which is 'catorce,' and forty, which is 'cuarenta.'
While there are some numbers that translate well from English to Spanish, some are a bit trickier. For example, take the Spanish number 'dos mil.' Naturally, an English speaker might think that number translates to 'two million,' but it's actually two thousand. Learning tricky translations like this will help you master Spanish numbers quicker.
