 German words: Numbers from 1 to 100

In this lesson we will learn how to formulate the numbers from one to one hundred in German. You need not memorize every single one once you have the patterns down.

Numbers 

What time is it? How much are the apples? What's the address to the hotel?

Numbers are a very important part of our communication system and should be one of the first vocabulary items learned when studying a foreign language. Whether you are telling the time, shopping, looking for an adress, making a phone call, paying the bill in a restaurant, riding the train, etc.. knowing your numbers in German will be tremendously helpful.

Don't worry, you won't have to memorize each number. Once you memorize 1-12 and the numbers by 10's from 20-100, you can formulate any number in between from a pattern!
