Again, read all these numbers and practice the pronunciation. Don't try to learn all the numbers and their pronunciation in 10 minutes. If possible, practice for several days, taking breaks between one practice and another.
Practice repeating these numbers for 10 minutes, rest and practice them again until you have learned them perfectly. We leave you below an image that you can download to your computer or your mobile phone to take a chop with you and that you do not have to search each time how the numbers are in Portuguese.
To form numbers, you simply have to join the decimal number and the digits with the letter e, for example:
21 = Twenty one
56 = Fifty six
78 = Seventy-eight
