Learn the Numbers in English
To learn the numbers in English you will only have to know the first 20; then, the other tens (from 30 to 90) and finally, how to say one hundred, one thousand and one million.
In the Tables you can see the most important cardinal numbers, how they are written in English and the figurative pronunciation.
