The teeners in German are pretty easy as they follow the single digits. Take a look:

10 - zehn (pretty close to "ten" if you remember that z in German at times gets replaced by a t in EN)

11 - elf (does that word remind you of something?)

12 - zwölf (z=t so you see the similarity to EN?)

From now on it gets even simpler:

13 - drei.zehn

14 - vier.zehn

15 - fünf.zehn

16 - sech.zehn (the "sechs" lost an -s)

17 - sieb.zehn (the "sieben" lost an -en)

18 - acht.zehn

19 - neun.zehn

The higher numbers we'll tackle in the next lesson. Make sure to listen to them a few times while reading and speaking along before moving on to the Preaching.

Here are the numbers 10-19. Preaching is always only done with help of the pattern, the triggers and your memory. Simply read them out loud up and down and down and up. Note: Speechnotes only writes down numbers in cyphers (19) and not in words (neunzehn).
