How do you say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 in German?

Counting from 1 to 10 in German is essential for beginners and is pronounced as follows: 1 is eins, 2 is zwei, 3 is drei, 4 is vier, 5 is fünf, 6 is sechs, 7 is sieben, 8 is acht, 9 is neun, and 10 is zehn. The pronunciation has some special features that English speakers should note. Eins is pronounced like "eyns," zwei like "tsvy," drei like "dry," vier like "feer," fünf has the German umlaut ü pronounced like a tight French u and sounds like "fuunf," sechs is pronounced "zeks," sieben is "zee-ben," acht has the guttural ch sound from the back of the throat like in Scottish loch, neun is like "noyn," and zehn is like "tseyn." There is an important rule: when counting or saying a phone number, you say "eins," but when you use one as an article before a noun you drop the s and say "ein" for masculine and neuter, and "eine" for feminine, for example "ein Mann" and "eine Frau." You will use these numbers constantly for time, age, shopping, and prices, so practicing them with correct pronunciation is a great foundation for learning German.
