Erreurs courantes chez les hispanophones

Many Spanish speakers find some English numbers tricky. Here are common mistakes:

  • Pronouncing three: The ‘th’ sound in three is different from ‘t’ or ‘d’. It’s not tree. Practice making the ‘th’ sound.
  • Confusing eleven et twelve: These words can sound similar to Spanish learners. Remember eleven is 11 and twelve is 12.
  • Forgetting zero: Sometimes learners might forget to say zero or use ‘oh’ (which is common for phone numbers but not for general counting).

Questions fréquemment posées

Why should I learn numbers 0-12 first?

These numbers are the building blocks for all other numbers. They are used in many basic daily situations, making them essential for new learners.

How can I practice numbers 0-12?

You can practice by counting objects around you, saying your age, or repeating the numbers aloud. Listen to English songs or videos that use numbers.

Is the ‘th’ sound in three important?

Yes, it is important! The ‘th’ sound helps people understand you clearly. If you say tree instead of three, it means a different word (a plant).

Do I need to spell the numbers correctly?

Yes, spelling is important, especially when writing. Practice writing the words for each number: one, two, three, etc.
