Part 1: Spanish Numbers from 0 to 10

It is very important that you master the numbers from 0 to 10. This will lay a solid foundation if
you want to count from 16 onwards.

Number Spanish Pronunciation

0 Cero SEH-ROH / Castilian Spanish: THEH-ROH (like the TH in

Thunder)
1 Uno OOH-NOH
2 Dos DOHS
3 Tres TREHS
4 Cuatro KWAH-TROH
5 Cinco SEEN-KOH / Castilian Spanish: THEEN-KOH (like the TH in
Thunder)
6 Seis SEH-EEHS
7 Siete SYEH-TEH
8 Ocho OH-CHOH
9 Nueve NWEH-VEH
10 Diez DYEHS / Castilian Spanish: DYETH (like the TH in Thunder)

One of the main differences between Castilian and Latin American Spanish is the pronunciation
of:

• the letter “z”

• the letter “c” when it is in front of an “e” or “i”
In Latin American Spanish they are both pronounced like a regular “s.” However, in Castilian
Spanish, the sound is similar to the “th” in “thunder.” From now on, we will use an asterisk to
indicate how the number is pronounced in Castilian Spanish and we will use the “TH” to indicate
it sounds like the “th” in “thunder.”

Part 2: Numbers from 11 to 19

A) Numbers from 11 to 15

So now we only need to learn ve more numbers before we can see how Spanish numbers follow
a general pattern. These are:

Number Spanish Number Pronunciation

OHN-SEH /
11 Once
*OHN-THEH
DOH-SEH /
12 Doce
*DOH-THEH
TREH-SEH /
13 Trece
*TREH-THEH
KAH-TOHR-SEH /
14 Catorce *KAH-TOHR-
THEH

KEEN-SEH /
15 Quince
*KEEN-THEH

B) Numbers from 16 to 19

The numbers from 16 to 19 are formed by following the pattern:

• DIECI + NUMBER (6-9)

Number Spanish Number Pronunciation
DYEH-SEE-SEH-
16 Dieciséis EEHS / * DYEH-
THEE-SEH-EEHS
DYEH-SEE-
SYEH-TEH / *
17 Diecisiete

SYEH-TEH
DYEH-SEE-OH-
18 Dieciocho CHOH / * DYEH-
THEE-OH-CHOH
DYEH-SEE-
NWEH-VEH / *
19 Diecinueve
DYEH-THEE-
NWEH-VEH

PART 3: Numbers from 20 to 29

“Veinte” means 20 in Spanish. You will need this to count from 21 to 29. We will simply swap
the “E” for an “I:”

• VEINTI + NUMBER
Number Spanish Number Pronunciation
20 Veinte VAIN-TEH
VAIN-TEE-OOH-
21 Veintiuno
NOH
22 Veintidós VAIN-TEE-DOHS
23 Veintitrés VAIN-TEE-TREHS

24 Veinticuatro

VAIN-TEE-SEEN-
25 Veinticinco

27 Veintisiete

VAIN-TEE-OH-
28 Veintiocho
CHOH
VAIN-TEE-
29 Veintinueve
NWEH-VEH

Part 4: Numbers from 30 to 100

Now things get even easier. All you need to do is learn the multiples of ten and then you’ll be
able to easily form any number you want. So let’s take a look at the tens rst:

Number Spanish Number Pronunciation

30 Treinta TRAIN-TAH
KWAH-REHN-
40 Cuarenta
TAH
SEEN-KWEHN-
50 Cincuenta TAH / *THEEN-
KWEHN-TAH
60 Sesenta SEH-SEHN-TAH
70 Setenta SEH-TEHN-TAH
80 Ochenta OH-CHEN-TAH
90 Noventa NOH-VEHN-TAH
SEE-EHN /
100 Cien
*THEE-EHN

So let’s say, you want to say 34 in Spanish. You would say “thirty and four.” And if you want to
say 87, you would say “eighty and seven.” Yes, it’s that simple.

It’s important to note that from 31 onwards, the numbers are not bound together anymore. They
will no longer be written in a single word.
The basic construction is:

• MULTIPLE OF TEN (30-90) + Y (AND) + NUMBER (1-9)

Number Spanish Number Pronunciation
TRAIN-TAH EEH
31 Treinta y uno
OOH-NOH
TRAIN-TAH EEH
32 Treinta y dos
DOHS
TRAIN-TAH EEH
33 Treinta y tres

38 Treinta y ocho
OH-CHOH

39 Treinta y nueve

Now let’s look at, say, the 90’s. This is just for you to truly see that from 31 onwards, numbers
are constructed in the exact same way.

NOH-VEHN-TAH
91 Noventa y uno
