Numbers

Need to count, give a price, or catch a phone number in French? These quizzes train your ear for French numbers, from single digits all the way up to a hundred.

French Numbers for Beginners

Each quiz focuses on a range of numbers, starting with the building blocks from un (one) to neuf (nine). From there you move into the teens, with tricky words like onze (eleven) and seize (sixteen), then climb the tens all the way up to cent (one hundred).

These sets run from beginner to intermediate and lean heavily on listening, since numbers fly by fast in real speech. You will hear each number and type what you catch, exactly as you would when someone gives you a price, an age, or an address. Because the focus is on hearing rather than reading, these sets are strong training for real conversations.

French Numbers with Audio Pronunciation

Numbers are spoken far more often than they are read, so every quiz includes audio pronunciation. Training your ear on a word like douze (twelve) means you can catch it instantly in a real conversation.

Did You Know?

French counting takes a famously quirky turn in the seventies and eighties. Seventy is soixante-dix (seventy), which literally means "sixty-ten," and eighty is quatre-vingts (eighty), literally "four twenties."

Watch for a small connecting word as well. Twenty-one is vingt-et-un (twenty-one), which slips in an et (and) that disappears again in most of the other compound numbers.

How the Quizzes Work

Each quiz is short, about five minutes, and you can repeat any of the 4 sets until the numbers come without hesitation. A few listening rounds is what turns hesitation into instant recognition, since numbers reward ear training more than almost any other vocabulary. Ready to count in French?
