Learn Spanish Numbers with Music [Conteo Regresivo]
Almost everyone knows to count from 1 to 10 in Spanish–before they even learned the language.
In this episode, we'll review useful vocabulary related to numbers in Spanish with the salsa song Conteo Regresivo by Gilberto Santa Rosa.
A few notes about large numbers:
In Latin America, the decimal point (punto) is used in place of the comma.
For example:
In the United States we would write 3,000 (Three thousand)
In Latin America, it would be written 3.000 (Tres mil)
Here is an example of a large number with money:
$3,000.30 (Three thousand dollars and 30 cents)
3.000,30 (Tres mil dólares y treinta centavos)
