[wm young]

If you are planning to learn the French language, you absolutely need
to Learn French numbers. There is no way to avoid it.
Before we start, you need to know the two kinds of numbers. Obviously,
you already know (from your English classes...) them.
We will review the cardinal numbers, and then, ordinal numbers.
1 - Cardinal Numbers
Learning the cardinal numbers is really easy. All that you need to do
is to take the time to grab the right accent, and then, memorize them.
Let's start...
I am going to give you the French/English translation from 1 to 10
first:
One = un,Two = Deux,Three = Trois,Four = Quatre,Five = Cinq,Six =
Six,Seven = Sept,Eight = Huit,Nine = Neuf,Ten = Dix
Now, you know the French/English translation (the easiest part...),
and to pronounce each of these numbers properly, you need to do one of
the following:
1) Ask to a French Native Speaker.
2) Learn French numbers Online.
3) Attend a French Class in your Area.
Obviously, the best option is to learn online, and, happily, there are
many website with audio files.
Just be sure that the one who speak is a real native speaker... From
Paris!
Let's contine with ordinal numbers now...
2 - Ordinal Numbers
It's a little bit more complicated, but easier than English ordinal
numbers, because you are going to find the root of the word:
First = Premier,Second = Deuxi'me,Third = Troisi'me,Fourth =
Quatri'me,Fifth = Cinqui'me,Sixth = Sixi'me,Seventh = Septi'me,Eighth
= Huiti'me,Ninth = Neuvi'me,Tenth = Dixi'me
As you can see, we keep the root (French = racine) of the number and
we add the suffix "i'me", (except for "Premier").
Now, you need to get the right
pronunciation...
