And now I have a Spanish numbers quiz for those who'd like to test their skills. All the best, if you take the test do let us know how you get one
Kiwi: I can't do large numbers, I always lose track when people talk in large numbers and have to ask them to write things down.
I also feel unsure how to say for example :
104 .000 (one hundred and four thousand). ¿ciencuatromil ? as opposed to
400.000 ( ¿cuatrocientosmil, I think ?)
I don't want to offer fourhundredthousand when I mean onehundredandfour thousand ...
And if you'd like to practice, here are some flashcards
maybe an idea for your site? - annierats

Dear Kiwi-Girl,
Thank you very much for offering us such a good learning lesson. I watched it very carefully and found there might be some typos in it. I hope you wouldn't mind if I point them out here; meanwhile, I have some questions about it.
(1) On page 12 or 12/43, there is a typo.
twenty-one ventiuno --> veintiuno
(2) 20/43, dos mil = two thousand, 2000
I just want to make sure if it is unnecessary to add "es" at the end of "mil". Is its usage just like English number when we talk about multiple thousands?
(3) 20/43 and for years...
1914 = mil novecientos catorce;
2014 = dos mil catorce
Can I say diecinueve catorce and veinte catorce respectively?
(4) 26/43 There is a typo.
1926 = mil novecientos veintidós --> mil novecientos veintiséis
(5) 31/43 Here are your answers!
You give ciento for "100". But the photo "Los números" you post here on your question above says cien for "100".
(6) 31/43 On the same page, it shows that "mil" for "1.000", but "un millón" for "1.000.000" . So, when I say "1.000.000", I need to add an "un" in front of "millón", but I don't need to add an "un" before "mil" if I refer to "1.000"--is that right?
(7) 32/43 I have to tell you the listening game is wonderful! Gracias!
(8) 36/43 There are two typos.
el tercer día (the fourth day --> the third day)
la tercera vez (the fourth day --> the third time)
(9) 37/43 Ordinal Number Abbreviations
How can I get the sign for the very small o or a on the upper-right corner of 1 for primero or primera?
(10) 43/43 And if you get stuck...
There are only the above five words on this page, it is not a complete sentence. What do you want to say next?
