Why learning French numbers is important

Learning how to count in French is an essential skill that can help you in many situations. It's helpful when shopping, telling the time or giving your phone number, to name just a few examples.

Moreover, learning French numbers helps develop your overall language skills. It's a great way to pick up on the sounds and musical rhythms of the French language, which often carries over to French conversation more broadly.

So without further ado, let's get started! 💪

Basic Phrases including Numbers

To help you put your newly acquired knowledge into use and remember the numbers better, here are a few phrases that include numbers that you can use during your everyday life.

• Person 1: "Je voudrais acheter deux croissants, s'il vous plaît." ("I would like to buy two croissants, please.")
• Person 2: "Très bien, cela fera trois euros au total." ("Alright, that will be three euros in total.")

• Person 1: "Je suis né(e) en mil neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix." ("I was born in nineteen ninety.")
• Person 2: "Oh, donc tu as maintenant trente-et-un ans." ("Oh, so you're thirty-one now.")

• Person 2: "Bien sûr, je vous appellerai à l'heure convenue." ("Of course, I'll call you at the agreed time.")

Cultural Tips

In France, it's not uncommon for prices to be given as "quatre-vingt-dix-neuf" instead of "quatre-vingt-dix plus neuf" to mean "ninety-nine" instead of "ninety plus nine." Be sure to listen out for these constructions!

Numbers in French are written in a different way than in English. For example, the number 76 is "soixante-seize," which translates literally to "sixty-seventeen." This might seem daunting at first, but with practice, you'll soon get the hang of it. 😊

Practice with Native Speakers

To practice and improve your French skills, you can use the Polyglot Club website. Find native speakers and ask them any questions!
