2. This series of slides will
introduce you to the numbers
from 11-20. If there is a
speaker icon on a slide, click
on it to hear the number
pronounced, then say the
number to yourself.

3. ELEVEN = ELF

4. TWELVE
=
ZWÖLF

5. You know that the way to say 10 in
German is ZEHN.
In English, the numbers from 13-19 all
end in the word TEEN (thirteen…etc.)
In German, the numbers from 13-19 all
end in ZEHN (dreizehn…etc.)

6. You know how to count to 10 in German. What
do you notice when you take away the “zehn”
in the following German numbers?
thirteen = dreizehn
fourteen = vierzehn
fifteen = fünfzehn
sixteen = sechzehn
seventeen = siebzehn
eighteen = achtzehn
nineteen = neunzehn

7. Except for sechzehn (16) and siebzehn (17), all of
the numbers in the teens are formed starting with
a number from 3 to 9 and then adding “zehn.”
(Notice that the number 16 is “sechzehn,” not
sechszehn,” and number 17 is “siebzehn,” not
“siebenzehn.”)
thirteen = dreizehn
fourteen = vierzehn
fifteen = fünfzehn
sixteen = sechzehn
seventeen = siebzehn
eighteen = achtzehn
nineteen = neunzehn

8. TWENTY
=
ZWANZIG

9. Here is a review of the German numbers
from 1-20. As you watch this video, count
along quietly to yourself.

10. Please ask your teacher for the
word search puzzle “Die Zahlen 0-
20.” Before finding the words in
the puzzle, write the correct
number next to the German word
(use digits, not numbers). When
you are finished, turn it in to your
teacher.

11. Then ask your teacher for 10 new
notecards and create flashcards
for the numbers 11-20. Practice
these numbers with a partner from
German to English and English to
German.
