Hi, JJ,

Glad to help! Have you considered retaking French?

Languages continually evolve. The numbers as we know them today might be different in let’s say 50 years. Who knows?

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey, Debbie,

Glad you liked it! Learning a language should be fun. 

As you mentioned, there are many similarities between Portuguese and French, although I would say Portuguese and Spanish are more closely related.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi, Heidi,

Yes, there are some similarities between French and Spanish since they’re both Romance languages. However, as you mentioned, numbers in French are more complicated, especially the ones between 70 and 99.

Answering your question, there is a good book on Amazon called Easy French. It’s very easy to follow. Additionally, you can use other online tools to learn and practice. Many of them are free! You can check out this post.

Feel free to come back anytime to check our new content. Thanks for commenting.

Hey, Donny,

The French pronunciation is hard for many, especially when it involves sounds that don’t exist in their native languages. Speaking without an accent is like a dream come true, but it requires hard work. I’ll talk about that subject soon.

Thanks for commenting.

Your article reminded me of how to name the numbers greater than ten by using the composites. I enjoyed going back over this. I think we used a different naming from that used below such as the seventies. Thank you for the trip down memory lane

You’ve actually managed to make it sound fun. I learnt French at school but have forgotten most of it if I’m honest. I learnt Portuguese as an adult and there are lots of similarities with the way their numbers work. I’m guessing it’s the Latin base.
You’ve made it very straightforward and easy to remember. Great post.

I speak some Spanish, so it was fun to see the similarities with some of the number words, though the pronunciations are very different! I did find it interesting that as the numbers get higher, they get a little more complicated and even require you to do some math. Learning and mastering numbers in French will keep you on your toes. 

I agree, practice is crucial when learning anything new, particularly a new language! Thank you for explaining the break down of each set of numbers. I wouldn’t have been able to figure out each part on my own!  

Are there any specific books/learning tools you would recommend to someone wanting to learn more of the French language?

I wonder if I’ll ever get to have that accent and way of saying words in French that the French have. 

But still I am in love with this language I find it to be one of the most interesting and likely enjoyable languages to speak. For now I guess I’ll be satisfied with vingt-deux because that is my date of birth.
