About this episode

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Everyday English with E2. My name is Mark. Each week, we focus on English grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation or spelling, and this week it’s all about the pronunciation of numbers. Thirteen, thirty, fourteen, forty… and so on.

So a common point of confusion, even for highly proficient speakers of English, and even for native speakers who speak ONLY English, is numbers. The teen numbers and 10 digits can sound very similar. So keep listening to find out how you can master the pronunciation of numbers in English.

And if you ever want a bit more practice before your English test, make sure you head to www.e2testprep.com and sign up for our free online English test prep courses for IELTS, PTE, OET, TOEFL, TOEIC and CELPIP.
