If the situation ever calls for it, you might have to count and spell numbers in German. This is not a necessary skill, but if you want to know German, you need to know how to count all numbers in German.

    • 0 - null - nooh-ll
    • 1 - eins - eyns
    • 2 - zwei - tsvy
    • 3 - drei - dry
    • 4 - vier - fear
    • 5 - fünf - foo-nf
    • 6 - sechs - zexs
    • 7 - sieben - zeeh-ben
    • 8 - acht - akt
    • 9 - neun - noin
    • 10 - zehn - tsehn
    • 11 - elf - elf
    • 12 - zwölf - ts-volf
    • 13 - dreizehn - dry-tsayne
    • 14 - vierzehn - feer-tsayne
    • 15 - fünfzehn - foo-nf-tsayne
    • 16 - sechzehn - zek-tsayne
    • 17 - siebzehn - zeeb-tsayne
    • 18 - achtzehn - akt-tsayne
    • 19 - neunzehn - noin-tsayne
    • 20 - zwanzig - tsvan-tsig
    • 30 - dreiβig - dry-tsig
    • 40 - vierzig - feer-tsig
    • 50 - fünfzig - foo-nf-tsig
    • 60 - sechzig - zek-tsig
    • 70 - siebzig - zeeb-tsig
    • 80 - achtzig - akt-tsig
    • 90 - neunzig - noin-tsig
    • 100 - hundert - hoon-dert
    • 200 - zweihundert - tsvy-hoon-dert
      • and so forth.

    • 21 - einundzwanzig - eyn-oond-tsvan-tsig
    • 22 - zweiundzwanzig - tsvy-oond-tsvan-tsig
    • 23 - dreiundzwanzig - dry-oond-tsvan-tsig
      • and so forth.
        • Einundzwanzig directly translates into, "One and twenty". The idea is that you can do this with any of the "in between numbers" such as:
    • 36 - sechsunddreiβig - zexs-oond-dry-tsig
    • 44 - vierundvierzig - feer-oond-feer-tsig
    • 59 - neunundfünfzig - noin-oond-foo-nf-tsig
      • and so forth.
