Les Nombres de 100 à 30 000
Review the vocabulary words related to numbers. Use the LRRL method (Listen, Repeat, Record (your voice), and Listen (to your voice recording compared to the original recording) to learn the following numbers. Repeat this method as many times as necessary until your pronunciation is the same as the original recording.
Numbers from 100-999 combine the different numbers you have already learned.
For example:
532 = cinq-cent-trente-deux
397 = trois-cent-quatre-vingt-dix-sept
397 = trois-cent-quatre-vingt-dix-sept

Important notes
- The Académie française’s 1990 French spelling reforms (rectifications orthographiques) suggest that it is good practice to use a hyphen to separate each number element, including “et-un”. For example, 2 422 is written as deux-mille-quatre-cent-vingt-deux.
- When writing out numbers higher than 999, a space separates three-digit groups of numbers. For example: 1 250.
- When vingt or cent are followed by a number, the s is dropped.
