Hi, my name is Rebecca and in today's lesson we're going to learn how to say numbers in
English.
Alright?
When we talk about numbers, we're talking about numbers of different lengths.
So let's start and if you have trouble with this, don't worry, just take it step by step.
I know it seems like as the numbers get longer, it becomes more and more difficult to describe
them but let's see how we do that, okay?
So right now we have a number on the board, that number is 5.
Now we have made it 65.
Now we have made it 265.
You see that we added the word "and", 265.
First 5, 65, 265.
Now it says 4,265.
When we add the thousand, we still keep this "and" that we said with the hundred.
So once again, this would be 4,265.
Now it says 74,265, 74,265, right?
The number is becoming larger, sorry, we have a little bit of disturbance here with some
of our activities out on Yonge Street in Toronto.
So now this number is 474,274,265, all right, 474,265, all right?
Now we go into the millions, we say 5,474,265, once again, 5,474,265.
Let's go one more step, you're getting richer and richer, 65,474,265, all right, 3,365,474,265,
okay?
Now let's go one more step.
Now you are a billionaire, 5,365,474, something's wrong there, let's go back, 5,365,474,265,
okay, one more time, say it with me, 5,365,474,265, all right?
Now let's go back the other way.
Now it's 365,474,265, now it's 65,474,265, 5,474,265.
Now we're just going to say this part, 474,265, 74,265, 4,265, 265, 65 and 5, okay?
So I hope this little lesson has helped you to learn how to say numbers and if you're
having trouble, just go step by step like that, add one more digit or number each time
and see at what point you start to make a mistake and then focus on correcting that
part of what you're saying, okay?
