If you’re familiar with Spanish pronunciation rules, you can now pronounce the following list of numbers (or at least make a reasonable attempt):
| English | Spanish |
| 0 | Cero |
| 1 | Uno |
| 2 | Dos |
| 3 | Tres |
| 4 | Cuatro |
| 5 | Cinco |
| 6 | Seis |
| 7 | Siete |
| 8 | Ocho |
| 9 | Nueve |
| 10 | Diez |
| 11 | Once |
| 12 | Doce |
| 13 | Trece |
| 14 | Catorce |
| 15 | Quince |
| 16 | Dieciséis |
| 17 | Diecisiete |
| 18 | Dieciocho |
| 19 | Diecinueve |
| 20 | Veinte |
| 21 | Veintiuno |
| 22 | Veintidós |
| 23 | Veintitrés |
| 24 | Veinticuatro |
| 25 | Veinticinco |
| 26 | Veintiséis |
| 27 | Veintisiete |
| 28 | Veintiocho |
| 29 | Veintinueve |
| 30 | Treinta |
| 31 | Treinta y uno |
| 32 | Treinta y dos |
| 33 | Treinta y tres |
| 34 | Treinta y cuatro |
| 35 | Treinta y cinco |
All the subsequent numbers (40, 50, etc.) follow the same pattern as 30, so you simply add “y uno”, “y dos” and so on to the numbers “cuarenta”, “cincuenta”, etc.
| 40 | Cuarenta |
| 50 | Cincuenta |
| 60 | Sesenta |
| 70 | Setenta |
| 80 | Ochenta |
| 90 | Noventa |
| 100 | Cien |
| 101 | Ciento uno |
| 102 | Ciento dos |
| 200 | Doscientos |
| 300 | Trescientos |
| 400 | Cuatrocientos |
| 500 | Quinientos |
| 600 | Seiscientos |
| 700 | Setecientos |
| 800 | Ochocientos |
| 900 | Novecientos |
| 1000 | Mil |
| 1125 | Mil ciento veinticinco |
| 1543 | Mil quinientos cuarenta y tres |
