Hi everyone and welcome back to English with Kathryn, it's great to see you again today.
We are going to be learning how to pronounce all the numbers from 1 to 1 billion and for those of you who think this is too easy for you, wait until the end and try the quiz which includes lots of tricky numbers that you may or may not know how to say.
Let's start with one to twenty
one
two
three
four
five
six
seven
eight
nine
ten
eleven
twelve
thirteen
fourteen
fifteen
sixteen
seventeen
eighteen
nineteen
twenty
The next are the numbers twenty to thirty.
Twenty, twenty one, 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30. I have two pronunciations I want to focus on. One is the th sound in 30. I know it's very difficult, especially for french people so let's try it together. We put our tongue in between our teeth like that and we blow gently out...
thirty
thirty
Very good, it's the same with
thirteen
thirteen
And I want to go to the second pronunciation point which is the difference between 30 and 13. What's the difference? Well obviously one has a teen at the end of it but the stress is different in both words. Listen carefully again:
thirteen
thirty
Yes in 13 we put the stress on the een part. In the word 30 we put the stress on the first part of the word. In 30 we don't really hear the last part (thirty) it's very weak sound at the end okay let's try that again
thirteen
thirty
Very good. The next numbers are from ten to one hundred but just the multiples of ten.
ten (10)
twenty (20)
thirty (30)
forty (40)
fifty (50)
sixty (60)
seventy (70)
eighty (80)
ninety (90)
a hundred. (100)
Notice how I said a hundred, not one hundred. In fact you can say both. Let's continue to a hundred and ten.
a hundred and one (101)
a hundred and two (101)
a hundred and three (103)
a hundred and four (104)
a hundred and five (105)
a hundred and six (106)
a hundred and seven (107)
a hundred and eight (108)
a hundred and nine (109)
a hundred and ten (110)
The and sound is pronounced like as if it had no d. In fact it does have the d we just don't pronounce it.
Now let's move to one thousand or a thousand.(1000)
a thousand and one (1001)
a thousand and two (1002)
a thousand and three (1003)
a thousand and four (1004)
a thousand and five (1005)
and so on... let me do some more random thousand numbers for you.
one thousand one hundred (1100)
one thousand five hundred (1500)
one thousand nine hundred (1900)
one thousand nine hundred and fifty (1950)
one thousand nine hundred and fifty five (1955)
one thousand six hundred and fifty seven (1650)
Now we're moving into the bigger numbers. Let's start with ten thousand (10,000).
ten thousand five hundred (10,500)
ten thousand five hundred and sixty-two (10,562)
fifteen thousand (15,000)
seventeen thousand and twenty-five (17,025)
eighteen thousand five hundred and sixty three (18, 563)
nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety nine (19, 999)
Now let's move to 100 000.
one hundred thousand five hundred and sixty three (100, 563)
one hundred thousand and ninety (100,090)
one hundred and twenty three thousand five hundred and sixty three (123,563) . That's getting long now!
five hundred thousand nine hundred and ninety nine (500,999)
Now let's move to one million
one million six hundred thousand and fifty three (1,600,053)
one million nine hundred and fifty thousand five hundred and sixty four (1,950,564)
and the final number which we rarely ever say..
One trillion! Oops while i was filming i forgot to include the number one million!
Just one more quick pronunciation aspect before we go to our quiz and that is when you have a number in front of a billion we don't put an s for example we say 15 million dollars we don't say 15 millions dollars or 15 millions of dollars, it's just 15 million - million is singular, or the thousand is singular, or the hundred is singular.
However we can say we can put the s when there is no number in front of it. For example I can say I have thousands of dollars in my bank account.
Okay now to turn to our quiz. Basically i'm going to read out some numbers and i want you to write them down. The answers are in the description below, but don't cheat don't put on the subtitles and if possible do not look at your screen just listen to my voice okay so that you don't even see my lips moving. Okay let's start I'm gonna look down at my first number
62 (sixty two) 30 (thirty) 152 (one hundred and fifty three) 2550 (two thousand five hundred and fifty) 7719 (seven thousand seven hundred and nineteen) 10,300 (ten thousand three hundred) 70,530 (seventy thousand five hundred and thirty) 250,513 (two hundred and fifty thousand five hundred and thirteen) 563, 666 (five hundred and 63 thousand, six hundred and sixty six).
Okay that's it! How did you go with that? Check out your answers in the description below and tell me in the comments if you had some difficulty with some of those. Was it just the speed at which i said the numbers? Or was it a particular number that got you?
