Saying numbers in British and American English (1-100)

How do we say numbers like twenty, thirty, forty, fifty etc. in English?

Well, it depends. There are some curious differences between how I say them in British English and how Jay says them in American English.

For example, tweny vs. twenty. Jay often drops the middle t in twenty and says twenny.

Then there's thirty. There he says the t but it sounds like very fast d sound - commonly known as a flap t. You'll hear lots of examples of the flap t in numbers in this video

Do you ever say free instead of three? We'll tell you about three vs. free pronunciation in England.

We'll also show you the difference in how we say numbers like thirteen and thirty, fourteen and forty, etc.

When we're counting in English a number like fourteen sounds different to when we say it on its own. We'll show you how native speakers change the word stress to distinguish between numbers like fourteen and forty.

And best of all you'll meet Super Agent Awesome for a numbers quiz.
