Learn 0–15 by heart, and three patterns build the rest, up to a million. Practice right here.
Numbers 1 to 10 in Spanish
Cero to diez have no pattern, so learn them by heart. Every other number is built from them.
Counting, 1 is uno. Before a masculine noun it's un (un libro), before a feminine one una (una casa).
Numbers 11 to 20 in Spanish
Once to quince are learnt by heart too. From 16 to 19, join dieci (ten and) to the unit as one word.
Watch the accent on dieciséis.
dieci+seis=dieciséis
Numbers 21 to 30 in Spanish
The twenties are one word too: veinti + the unit. Mind the accents on veintidós, veintitrés and veintiséis.
For dates you need 1 to 31: the 31st is el treinta y uno.
veinti+cinco=veinticinco
Numbers 31 to 50 in Spanish
From 31, a number is three words: the tens, y (and), then the unit. The tens end in -enta: treinta, cuarenta, cincuenta.
treinta+y+cinco=treinta y cinco
Numbers 51 to 100 in Spanish
The same pattern runs to 99. Don't mix up sesenta (60, from seis) and setenta (70, from siete).
100 on its own is cien: cien libros.
Numbers to 1,000 and beyond in Spanish
Over 100, cien becomes ciento, with no y: ciento uno. The hundreds are one word, and three are irregular: quinientos, setecientos, novecientos.
Mil is 1,000, never un mil. Un millón takes de before a noun: un millón de personas.

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez. Zero is cero.
After diez come once, doce, trece, catorce and quince. Then 16 to 19 join dieci- to the unit: dieciséis, diecisiete, dieciocho, diecinueve. 20 is veinte.
21 to 29 join veinti- to the unit as one word: veintiuno, veintidós, veintitrés… veintinueve. 30 is treinta, and 31, for dates, is treinta y uno.
Cien. It becomes ciento only when another number follows: ciento uno (101), ciento veinte (120).
Veintiuno. Numbers from 21 to 29 are written as one word. Veinte y uno is an old spelling you will not see today.
Numbers 16 to 29 merged into single words over time. From 31 on, Spanish keeps the parts separate with y: treinta y uno.
Up to 100, only numbers ending in one do: un perro, una gata, veintiún libros, veintiuna casas. From 200, the hundreds agree too: doscientas casas.
Mil, never un mil. 2,000 is dos mil, 10,000 is diez mil and a million is un millón.
