    EP13 — Numbers in Spanish (level A1)

    New to Spanish? Let's start with the basics: numbers. In this short episode, I say the numbers from [1 to 1000] in Spanish, slowly and clearly, so you can listen, repeat and get used to the sounds. No grammar, just the numbers you'll need every day in Spain: at the market, in a café, when someone gives you a phone number or tells you the price. Listen once, then play it again and say each number out loud with me. Repetition is the secret. Perfect for complete beginners (A1).
