As with all languages, to learn to the numbers in chinese The first thing to learn is the basic numbers, that is, learn from 0 to 9, since the other numbers are made up of these.

Next, I will share a table in which you can see the number, its Chinese character and its translation into Spanish, so that you can get an idea about the pronunciation of the number. Either way, you could use an online translator to learn the pronunciation a little better.

Chinese numbers from 1 to 10

1	一	yi
2	two	èr
3	three	saint
4	four	Yup
5	五	wǔ
6	六	liu
7	Seven	what
8	Eight	ba
9	nine	hee
10	Ten	she thought

We recommend that you spend some time memorizing the numbers and practicing their pronunciation. Once you have mastered them you can move on to the following table:

Numbers from 10 to 20

Number	Chino	Pinyin
11	eleven	shí yī
12	twelve	yes it is
13	thirteen	shí sān
14	fourteen	shi yes
15	fifteen	shi wǔ
16	sixteen	shí liù
17	Seventeen	shi qī
18	Eighteen	shí bā
19	Nineteen	shi hee
20	twenty	er shí

As you can see in the two tables, what is done from 11 to 19 is to put ten followed by the unit. For example, to say twelve (shí ér) start with shí (10) ér (2).

This is a rule that is used with most numbers in Chinese. For example, if you wanted to say 22, all you have to do is say "two, ten, two" in Chinese. Easy enough isn't it?

Hundreds, thousands and millions in Chinese

10 000	Ten thousand	yī wàn
1000 000	one million	yī bǎi wàn
