To count and spell in French from 1 to 20, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by learning the French numbers from 1 to 10:
- 1: un (uh)
- 2: deux (duh)
- 3: trois (twah)
- 4: quatre (kah-truh)
- 5: cinq (sank)
- 6: six (sees)
- 7: sept (set)
- 8: huit (wheat)
- 9: neuf (nuhf)
- 10: dix (dees)
2. Once you've mastered the numbers 1 to 10, continue with the next set of numbers:
- 11: onze (onz)
- 12: douze (dooz)
- 13: treize (trez)
- 14: quatorze (ka-tohrz)
- 15: quinze (kanz)
- 16: seize (sez)
- 17: dix-sept (dees-set)
- 18: dix-huit (dees-wheat)
- 19: dix-neuf (dees-nuhf)
- 20: vingt (vahn)
To count and spell in French effectively, it is important to pronounce the numbers correctly. I have provided the English pronunciation in parentheses as a guide.
Remember that in French, the numbers are not combined in the same way as in English. For instance, instead of saying "forty-two," you would say "quarante-deux" (kah-rahn-duh).
Practice pronouncing the numbers repeatedly to become more familiar with their spelling and pronunciation.
