Answer 1

My trick for learning numbers in Spanish is to play Spanish Bingo with other people who need the practice.

This could be done with one of those Bingo sets you can at toy stores. Or, if you are in a Spanish-speaking country or neighborhood, you can find a public Bingo parlor or church Bingo game.

A friend of mine and I went to play Bingo in a bingo parlor. We worked off of the same card, to double check each other. And, after an hour we came away with an extra 30 euros in our pocket (15 each).

That's a fun way to learn your numbers.

I have never played that game before, but If I had my time again I would be in that with you. And a good way to learn numbers. - ray76, Aug 29, 2010

Joyce - that sounds like so much fun :o - nonombre, Aug 29, 2010

The more I think about this, the more I like the idea. Any Spanish class could play the game and everyone would get better at listening to and learning numbers up to 100. - JoyceM, Aug 30, 2010

Answer 2

I'm with you on this one, Annie!

They seem so simple, like Webdunce says, that I took knowing them for granted. However, I found that I kept forgetting them, especially the difference between the numbers 15 and 50.

Eventually, I had to make a special set of flashcards just to get my numbers correct.

You are too young to go over 50 anyway. - ray76, Aug 29, 2010

Answer 3

How do you expect anybody to answer your question when it's in spanish. If yo translate it in English maybe someone would answer your question because I'm only a beginner so I don't know what you asked.

Good point , but drop in a please and a "would you" being nice goes such a long way, best of luck to you . Be well and happy. - ray76, Aug 29, 2010

Point taken ...and thanks young Ray :o - nonombre, Aug 29, 2010

Tone down the attitude a bit, Cute, we are all friends here. - --Mariana--, Aug 29, 2010

Answer 4

Porque los números me parecieron muy simple, siempre me he evitado estudiarlos cuidadosamente pensando que los aprenderé más tarde. Ahora, dos o tres años despues, y aún no puedo usarlos bien aunque estan muy simple.

Because numbers seemed simple to me, I have always avoided studying them carefully thinking I will learn them later. Now, it is two or three years later and I still can't use them well even though they are very simple.

I'm afraid only makes sense in Spanish and cannot be accurately translated. Sorry.

Translation Please - ray76, Aug 29, 2010

Thank you ! At least you tried that is all that one can do. - ray76, Aug 29, 2010

It was a joke, Ray. :) I'm saying the smiley itself cannot be translated. :)) - webdunce, Aug 29, 2010
