German Numbers and Counting

From Hyde Flippo, About.com GuideApril 26, 2005

Follow me on:

The numbers in German are not difficult to learn, but true mastery of numbers, in any language, takes time. It is fairly easy to learn to rattle off the numbers - eins, zwei, drei... and so forth. However, most of the time numbers are used in more practical ways: in telephone numbers, in math problems, in prices, for addresses, etc. Also, because you have already internalized the numbers in English or another first language, there can be the same kind of interference that happens with other vocabulary. More in Lesson 7 of German for Beginners...
