How do you say 50 in Spanish

Learning Spanish? Well, you’re smart to make sure you know your Spanish numbers.

After all, numbers are essential for getting around in the world – whether you need to tell a waiter to bring three glasses for your bottle of wine or simply want to know how much a jumper costs.

In this article, we’ll teach you the Spanish numbers to 100.

Before we begin, it’s important to note that these numbers will sound a little different in Spain than they do in Latin America. However, it’s easy enough to understand both if you know the differences between Spanish in Spain and the Americas.

The biggest pronunciation change you need to know when it comes to counting in Spanish is that, in Spanish speaking countries in the Americas, the letter ‘c’ is pronounced as an ‘s’ sound in when it comes before an ‘e’ or an ‘i’. For those same words, it’s pronounced instead as a ‘th’ sound (like ‘thanks’ or ‘thermometer’) in Spain.

Ready? Let’s go.
