Bonjour! Today we are going to learn how to count from 1 to 10 in French. It is super easy and fun!
In French, every number has its own special word. Let's start with the first three numbers: un (1), deux (2), and trois (3). Say them out loud to practice your pronunciation!
Now let's look at the next three numbers: quatre (4), cinq (5), and six (6). Notice how 'six' is spelled just like in English, but we pronounce it more like 'seess'!
Let's finish our list with sept (7), huit (8), neuf (9), and dix (10). In French, we do not pronounce the 'p' in sept, so it sounds like 'set'!
Now, let us analyze how French numbers work by comparing them. Some numbers look like English words, while others sound completely different. Grouping them helps our brain remember them faster.
Translate the total number of apples from English to French: 'I have three red apples and five green apples.'
- Step 1: Identify the numbers in the English sentence. We have 'three' (3) and 'five' (5).
- Step 2: Add the two numbers together to find the total. 3 + 5 = 8.
- Step 3: Recall the French word for the number 8. Let's count up: un (1), deux (2), trois (3), quatre (4), cinq (5), six (6), sept (7), huit (8).
- Step 4: Match the sum of 8 to its French translation. The correct French word is 'huit'.
