Mastering them will make it easier to understand native speakers and communicate clearly in many situations. You will learn to say and spell each number, from <span data-no-translation>eleven<\/span> to <span data-no-translation>twenty<\/span>. Pay attention to the sounds, especially the &#8216;-teen&#8217; ending for most numbers from <span data-no-translation>thirteen<\/span> to <span data-no-translation>nineteen<\/span>. Practice saying them aloud to remember them better.
