Numbers in Mexican Spanish are one of the easiest places to start a second language, because children count every day: stairs, snacks, fingers, cars. This page has a 1 to 100 number chart with clear Latin American audio. Tap any number to hear it in Spanish and English, or press Count with me to count 1 to 10, 1 to 20 or all the way to cien.
Numbers 1 to 10 in Spanish
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez. These ten words are the foundation for everything up to 100. Two tips for the ear: Spanish vowels are short, so dos rhymes with "dose", not "doze"; and in Latin America the c in cinco and diez sounds like an s. Counting fingers is the classic first game: hold up one hand and count uno to cinco, then the other for seis to diez.
Numbers 11 to 20: the tricky teens
Spanish teens come in two groups, which helps children remember them. From 11 to 15 each has its own name: once, doce, trece, catorce, quince. From 16 to 19 they are built like a sum, "ten and six": dieciséis, diecisiete, dieciocho, diecinueve. Then comes veinte (20). Notice the accent on dieciséis; it tells you where the stress falls.
| Pattern | Examples | Tip for children |
|---|---|---|
| 11-15 own names | once, doce, trece, catorce, quince | Learn as a chant, like a song |
| 16-19 "ten and..." | dieci + séis, siete, ocho, nueve | Hear the "diez" hiding at the start |
| 21-29 one word | veintiuno, veintidós, veintitrés | "Twenty-and-one" squeezed together |
| 31-99 "y" | treinta y uno, cuarenta y cinco | Tens, then "y", then ones |
Counting in tens to 100
Diez, veinte, treinta, cuarenta, cincuenta, sesenta, setenta, ochenta, noventa, cien. After 30, every number follows the same rule: the ten, the little word y ("and"), then the unit. So 47 is cuarenta y siete and 99 is noventa y nueve. Children who can count to ten and know the tens can count to 100, which makes Spanish more regular than English (no "eleventy" surprises, no "fifteen" vs "fifty" confusion). A useful detail for later: 100 on its own is cien, but 101 becomes ciento uno.
How to use the number chart
- Tap and hear: tap any square to hear the number in Spanish, then in English.
- Count with me: choose 10, 20 or 100 and count aloud together while the chart lights up.
- Find the number: say a number in Spanish and let your child find it on the chart.
Every correct answer adds a marble to the Goli Jar. Tap the jar at the end and count the marbles in Spanish. If a number is hard, the game never says "wrong"; it just helps your child find the right square.
Counting games from Mexican homes
Mexican family life has counting built in. At a birthday, children count the turns at the piñata while everyone sings "Dale, dale, dale, no pierdas el tino". In the kitchen, count tortillas into the tortillero. At the market, count mangoes into the bag. Hide-and-seek, escondidas, is perfect practice: the seeker counts to diez or veinte with eyes closed. The playground rope rhyme "Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete..." works for jumping, clapping or stair climbing.
Count the same thing in both languages: "uno, dos, tres... one, two, three!" Bilingual children often learn numbers faster in the language they count with most, so do both.
What to expect by age
At 2-3, children usually chant uno, dos, tres and may skip numbers; that is fine. At 3-4, they count up to 10 objects, touching each one. At 4-5, they count to 20 and recognise written numbers to 10. At 5-6, many count to 100 with the tens pattern and start adding small amounts. In Mexican preescolar, teachers focus on counting real objects and comparing "more" and "fewer" rather than writing numbers, and you can do the same at home. For English counting, use counting 1 to 100 or counting 1 to 10.
Spain and Latin America count exactly the same way; only the accent differs. If your family prefers Castilian audio, try numbers in Spain Spanish. You can also print this page from your browser to get a simple numbers chart.
¡Vamos a contar!
Contar en español es fácil y divertido. Cuenten los escalones al subir, los carros rojos en la calle y los frijoles en el plato. Si su hijo se salta un número, no pasa nada; repitan juntos despacio y con alegría.
Del uno al diez, cada número tiene su nombre. Del dieciséis al diecinueve se forman con "diez y...", y desde el treinta usamos la palabra "y": treinta y uno, treinta y dos. Con estas reglas su hijo podrá llegar hasta el cien.
Terminen cada juego contando las canicas del frasco de Golu. ¡Uno, dos, tres... qué bien!
How to use this page at home
Say it, then find it
Play for a few minutes, then look for the same thing away from the screen: spanish (latin america) words on the shelf, in the kitchen, on the way to school. A child learns a word properly when they meet it twice, once on the screen and once in their hand.
Ten minutes is enough
Short and happy beats long and tired. Stop while your child still wants more, and come back tomorrow: the same page on five short days teaches far more than one long sitting. Nothing here is scored, so there is no reason to push.
Use both languages
Tap the language button at the top to hear the words in your home language first and the second language after. Hearing the same picture named in two languages is one of the few things research agrees builds attention as well as vocabulary.
