Hello, and bienvene to Coffee Break Spanish. Welcome back to Coffee Break Spanish. Now, this is a lesson at 12, 12, or doce, in Spanish. And we're going to be learning some more numbers today. We'll also be learning days of the week and months of the year. I hope you enjoy this lesson. Okay, now it has to be said that numbers are probably not the most interesting thing to learn about and indeed to teach about,

but we're hopefully going to make things a bit more exciting and a bit more interesting with some music and rhythm like the last time we did some numbers. Let's run through the numbers between 11 to 20 first of all. 11 is 11. 12, 12. 12. 13, 13, 13.

13. 14, 14, 14, 14. 15, 15, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 10, 16, 10, That's actually 10 and 6. 10 and 6. 10. 16. 17 is 10 and 7.

17. 18, 18, 18. 18. 19, 19. 19. 19. And 20, 20. 20.

Okay, well, Well, let's to repeat the numbers with rhythm 11

11 12 13 13 13 14 14 15

15 16 16 17 17 17 18 18

18 18 19 19 19 20 okay okay

this this this music Once 11 12 12

13 13 14 14 14 15 15 16 17 17

17 18 18 18 19 19 19 and 20 20

sorry I got a bit carried away there we did try to promise you that wouldn't be boring with coffee break Spanish. Anyway, we're going to go on now

and we're going to learn how to count upwards from 20, number 20. If 10, 7, 10, 8 and so on, means 10 and 7, 10 and 8 and so on, then 21 is 20 and 1. 20 and 1.

20 and 1. Just watch the pronunciation of the word bainte. It's beinte, beinti. Beinte. That's it. Beinte. Beinte.

So, 20-1. 20-1. Because 20-I-1 becomes 21. And then you go on, 22. Bienti-2.

22. 22. 23. How would you say 25? 25. 25. What's about 28?

28. Very good. So, 21, 22, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30. 30.

30. Exactly the same thing happens with 30. It's the A sound followed by the E sound. 30. 30. 30.

What would 31? be then. 30 and 1. 31. 31. Very good. And 32. 30 and 32.

30. 30. And two. 32. 32. Very good. And it goes on up until 40.

40. 40. And 41. 41. 42. 42. And so on. then

50 50 or 50 in Latin America 50 50 50 50 and that would be 50

then 60 60 is 60 70 70 70 70 70 70 70

80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 and 100, 100, 100.

Okay, I'm gonna give you some numbers here and see if you can work out what they are. Eighty-four, car? Eighty-four. Very well, 75. 75. Okay, 51. Kara?

51. Very well. 33. 33. 33. Very well. Okay, so these numbers are fairly straightforward. As long as you can learn, 20, 20, 30, and 40, 40, 50. 50, 60, 60, 70, 70, 70, 80, 80, 90, 90, 90, 90, 90, 90, and 100. Okay, just to mention one other thing about, ciento.

C.I. And therefore, in Spain, it's pronounced Ciento. But in Latin America, it would be pronounced Ciento. Siento. So, we'll stick to a Spanish pronunciation for moving on from 100. Ready for some more numbers? Yes, okay.

Okay, so 101 would be 101. 101. 101. And Ciento-2, 103, and suan. Let's see if. if you can work out what 115 would be?

Cera? 115. And what about 148? 148. 148. That actually brings up quite a good point because in English we say 148.

And there might be a tendency if you thought about it to say 1048. But we know but we know that 48 is 48, so it's 140 and 8 in Spanish

148 148 Okay, now 200 in Spanish is quite interesting because 200 is 200s, literally so you don't say 200, but 200

200 200. So 222 so 222 22 22 2nd think of this word for 20

20 222 222 222 222 222 Okay 300

America, 300. 300. Okay. 400? 400? 400? 500? 5500?

Now, that is really interesting that you had trouble saying 5500. In fact, you're not alone. Because in Spain and in the Spanish-speaking world, you don't say 500. It sounds funny. So you say, 5-100.

5-0. 5-0. 500 It's just one of those things There's no real reason for it 500 So we've got 100, 200

300, 400, 500, 5100 and then it goes on 600 600 And then

700 And then 700 Not 700 And 800 And 800 And another strange one Nobicentos And another strange one,

900. It's not 900, but 900. 9100. Okay. And 1,000 is 1,000. Mill. Mill. Mill. So let's try some more numbers here. I'm going to test you on and see how well you do.

So to begin with, 324. 320. And I forget the number. 324. And four. 324. 3024.

20. 20. 20. 20. 20. Very good. Okay. We'll try and avoid 20.

What about 642? 642. Very well. 6402. Try 552. I can't remember how to pronounce 500. 500 is 500. 500.

500. 550 and 550. Now, a wee bit of revision from our last lesson. How would you see, how do you say 500 in Spanish? How do you say 500 in Spanish? How's it is 500 in Spanish? Well, in Spanish, 500, 100, so. 500.

Okay, so no more excuses, no asking how do you say something in English from now on, okay? One last one and this is going to be a real big one. 1,282. 1,282. 1,2802. Perfecto. 2,000 is 2,000, 3,000, and so on. It is very straightforward.

You really know now all the that you need to know in Spanish, and you can practice them in lots of different ways. Our bonus podcast will help you do just that.

Now, there are a few more things that we need to do in this podcast. We need to learn the days of the week, the months of the year and the seasons of the year as well. Let's start with the days of the week. We'll begin with Monday. Monday is Lones. Lones. Lones. Lones.

Okay, Tuesday is Martes. Nartes. Martes Martes Wednesday is Myrcholes Myrkeles Myrkeles

Thursday is Juebes Juebes Juebes Friday Biernes Piernes Piernes

Piernes Pianness Saturday is Savado Savado Saturday. Saturday is

Domingo. Domingo. Domingo. Very well. Let's run through them again. Lunice. Okay, Martes.

Martes. Miercoles. Miercoles. Juebes. Bierness. Bierness. Bierness. Sabado

Sado. Domingo. Domingo. Very very. There's not really a lot you can do to remember the days of the week. It's just a case of learning them.

And the same with the months of the year. So the months of the year are Enero. Enero. Enero. Enero. February. February.

February. March. Martho. Martho. Martho. Or Marso. Marl. Avril.

Avril. Avril. Mayo. Mayo. Mayo. June. June. June

Julio Julio Julio August August August August September

September September September September October October October October

November? November. November. November. Decibre. Decembre. Dicembre. December.

Or Decembre in Latin America. Dicembre. Okay, one thing there about the word for September. In some parts of the Spanish-speaking world, people say September. In other parts, people say September, and have a small P sound in the middle. And indeed, it's spelled some cases with the French-speaking. P and in other cases without the P. So it's fairly optional, but you might be better to ask someone in the area where you're most familiar with how they say and how they spell September or September.

Finally, the seasons of the year. We are at the moment in Injerno. Inbieno. But we certainly are here in Scotland. Injerno is winter. Inbierno. Inbierno. Okay.

Spring is primav. Primavera. Primavera. Primavera. Primavera literally means the first green. So the first green coming in spring after the winter disappears. So primavera. Summer is

Verano. Verano. Verano. And autumn is Otoño. Otoño. Otoño. Otoño. Otoño.

Otoño. Okay. Now there's one final thing that I'd like to cover before we finish this lesson, and that is to say the date, what date it is. For example, when this is published, it will probably be the 7th of January. That would be El Siette de Enero. El Siette de Enero. Now, note that it's not the 7th in Spain instead.

It's the 7th of January. El 7 de January. So you can also add in the year because you know the year now is 2007. So the word for today is Oi. Oi is El Sieted de Enero de 2007. Oi is El Siette de enero you see, de,

de, 2007, exactly. You always have to say, Today is the 7th of January of 2007. The 7th of 2007. The 7th of 2007. Okay. My birthday, my birthday, is the 20th of April. So, when's my birthday?

The 20th of April. Very well. And when is your birthday? My cumplea years is the 5th of November. Very bien, El Cinco de Novibre. And that's all for today. And that's where we're going to leave it today for this edition of Coffee Break Spanish.
