Respellings follow the course’s say-it key; the stressed syllable is in capitals. Print this lesson’s flashcards (PDF) — the words on the front, the English and respelling on the back.
Numbers 0-100 at speed, in the sentences that use them: ages, phone numbers, prices, dates. Tengo once años. Mi bisabuela tiene noventa y cinco años. Cuesta setenta y tres pesos.
La edad is the age; ¿cuántos años tienes? is still how you ask it. Cien stands alone for exactly one hundred: cien años, cien pesos.
cien stands alone for 100 (never un cien), and 95 is noventa y cinco — tens, y, ones, the pattern that never changes from 31 up.
This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The Spanish Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
Turn this lesson’s words into flashcards, then space your reviews — the two habits the research behind our study guides backs hardest.
