Learning how to say numbers in German can be tricky for a lot of people because the order in numbers is different than in a lot of languages (English also).

For example, in English 42 is forty-two. It goes straight 40 and 2. But in German, we would say 42 as zwei-und-vierzig which is 2 and 40. Once you remember that it goes the other way around and practice a little bit, you will get used to it 😃

Here are the numbers 1-100:

1 - eins

2 - zwei

3 - drei

4 - vier

5 - fünf

6 - sechs

7 - sieben

8 - acht

9 - neun

10 - zehn

11 - elf

12 - zwölf

From now, it goes kind of naturally... (3+10 , 4+10,...)

13 - dreizehn

14 - vierzehn

15 - fünfzehn

....

20 - zwanzig

21 - ein-und-zwanzig

22 - zwei-und-zwanzig

... You can notice the pattern that I explained before

30 - dreißig

31 - ein-und-dreißig

32 - zwei-und-dreißig

...

40 - vierzig

41 - ein-und-vierzig

42 - zwei-und-vierzig

...

50 - fünfzig

51 - ein-und-fünfzig

52 - zwei-und-fünfzig

....

60 - sechzig

61 - ein-und-sechzig

62 - zwei-und-sechzig

...

70 - siebzig

71 - ein-und-siebzig

72 - zwei-und-siebzig

....

80 - achtzig

81 - ein-und-achtzig

82 - zwei-und-achtzig

...

90 - neunzig

91 - ein-und-neunzig

92 - zwei-und-neunzig

....

100 - hundert

I wrote all the numbers with - just so you could get a clear picture how we reached that name for each number. If it is easier, you can write it like that too in the beginning and later you can just write it all as one word. For example, einundneunzig instead of ein-und-neunzig.
