Can we have lessons on number?

[seasurfer]

May we have lessons on number? Like how to count, how to pronounce the year in French?

Hello Seasurfer!

Nice to meet you Seasurfer!
Let me introduce myself. Je m'appelle Angèle, the content writer for all the lessons on Frenchpod101.
It's so exciting to be able to communicate with you !
Lessons on numbers are coming soon as they are already scheduled in newbie and beginner lessons.

Salut.

Thanks for your response. I am so happy to see these lessons are coming...but, isn't it a bit a long to wait until lesson 18? It is only lesson 5 now, that means I have to wait for 3-4 months. Can we have more beginner lessons per week?

[Teacherangele]

Coucou ! Salut !

To help you satisfy your thirst for the French numbers, I'll commit to add the numbers in the Learning Center very soon!

What does coucou mean?


Thanks a lot, but I am only a basic subsriber, so I won't have access to the learning center.

[Teacherangele]

Coucou is another way to greet as Salut, but even more informal!

I use it in emails or IM for my friends and family members!

It is the sound that the little bird do when coming out of the clock to mark the hour!

Okay , here's a sample:

let me give you at least today's date in numbers: 2008-06-02
So it would be le 2 juin 2008

2008 Deux mille huit [duh mil uit]
6 six [sis]
2 deux [duh]

So how to say 1998?

[sternwarte]

To say 1998:

Mille neuf cent quatre vingt dix huit
same as 1000 + 9 + 100 + 4 + 20 + 10 + 8

[Celine]

Christophe, I wonder why you chose 1998 ...............

[sternwarte]

Ijust reply the question!!

[Teacherangele]

Pretty good, Sternwarte. (concerning the year 1998)

To remember this number easier, it really should be
=> 100 + (9 x 100) + (4 x 20) + 10 + 8 = 1998
Mille neuf cent quatre-vingt dix-huit!
