How to practice Spanish numbers by ear
Choose numbers, prices, or times, then press Start listening. Enter digits rather than Spanish words. You can replay each recording or switch to slower audio before checking your answer. After the round, practice just the answers you missed.
Start with 0–20
Get comfortable hearing short numbers before moving to 0–100. Listen for the difference between dieciséis (16) and sesenta (60).
Catch the whole price
Tres euros con cincuenta means €3.50. Enter either 3.50 or 3,50. The prices here use euros, as you would hear in Spain.
Work back from the hour
Las cuatro menos cuarto means a quarter to four, or 3:45. Enter times on a 12-hour clock. No a.m. or p.m. is needed in these rounds.
Listen for the part that changes
If you keep mixing up two numbers, compare their written forms after the round. Trece is 13, while treinta is 30. Quince is 15, while cincuenta is 50. Say each pair aloud, then replay the answer you missed.
For numbers from 31 to 99, listen for the tens first. In cuarenta y dos, cuarenta gives you 40 and dos adds 2. You do not need to count up from one to work out the answer.
| Spanish | Meaning | What to listen for |
|---|---|---|
| veintidós | 22 | Numbers from 21 to 29 start with veinti-. |
| cuarenta y dos | 42 | The tens, then y, then the final number. |
| tres euros con cincuenta | €3.50 | The amount after con gives the cents here. |
| las dos y media | 2:30 | Y media means half past. |
| las cuatro menos cuarto | 3:45 | Menos cuarto means a quarter before the named hour. |
What to do with an answer you missed
Before starting another round, use the replay button beside each missed answer. Read the Spanish once, then look away and listen again. If the recording still feels too fast, choose Slower during a question. Switch it off for another listen at the original speed.
Stay with the smaller number range if you are guessing most answers. When those feel familiar, try 0 to 100 or switch to prices. A perfect score is a reason to try a different mode, but you can move on whenever you want.
Take the numbers into a conversation
A number is easier to recognize when you know what you are listening for. Try hearing the total while ordering coffee in Spanish, then use the phrases in our Spanish phrase guides to ask a question and keep the exchange going.
