Numbers are used everywhere! In Spanish, numbers have their own special names. Let us learn to count from one to ten in Spanish.

One is uno. Two is dos. Three is tres. Four is cuatro. Five is cinco. Six is seis. Seven is siete. Eight is ocho. Nine is nueve. Ten is diez.

You can practice counting on your fingers. Hold up one finger and say uno. Hold up two fingers and say dos. Keep going all the way to diez!

Numbers in Spanish are used just like numbers in English. If you have cinco apples, you have five apples! If you count cuatro birds, you are counting four birds.

Here is a fun way to remember: uno sounds a little like the card game UNO! And dos sounds like the word dose. Tres sounds like dress without the d. You can make up little tricks to help you remember each number in Spanish.
