- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Dutch with Fexingo! Luna: Hey Lucas, thanks! I'm ready for more Dutch today. Lucas: Great! So, we've done numbers 1 to 10. Remember een, twee, drie? Luna: Yes! Een, twee, drie, vier, vijf, zes, zeven, acht, negen, tien. Lucas: Excellent! Now let's go further. Today we learn numbers 11 to 20. Luna: Oh, cool! I can already count my fingers in Dutch. Lucas: Well, you might need toes too. So, first: 11 is elf. Luna: Elf. Like the creature from fantasy? Lucas: Exactly! Elf. Say it with me: elf. Luna: Elf. Elf. Lucas: Perfect. And 12 is twaalf. Luna: Twaalf. That sounds like 'twelve' but with a twist. Lucas: Right. Twaalf. Now 13: dertien. Luna: Dertien. Like thirteen but with a 'd'? Lucas: Yes, dertien. And 14: veertien. Luna: Veertien. That's close to fourteen. Lucas: Good. 15: vijftien. Luna: Vijftien. Like fifteen, but 'vijf' is five. Lucas: Exactly. Then 16: zestien. Luna: Zestien. From zes, six. Lucas: Yes! 17: zeventien. Luna: Zeventien. Seven becomes zeven. Lucas: Right. 18: achttien. Luna: Achttien. From acht. Lucas: And 19: negentien. Luna: Negentien. From negen. Lucas: Finally, 20: twintig. Luna: Twintig. Like twenty but with 'twin'. Lucas: Let's say them all together slowly. Repeat after me: elf. Luna: Elf. Lucas: Twaalf. Luna: Twaalf. Lucas: Dertien. Luna: Dertien. Lucas: Veertien. Luna: Veertien. Lucas: Vijftien. Luna: Vijftien. Lucas: Zestien. Luna: Zestien. Lucas: Zeventien. Luna: Zeventien. Lucas: Achttien. Luna: Achttien. Lucas: Negentien. Luna: Negentien. Lucas: Twintig. Luna: Twintig. Lucas: Now let's do a quick drill. I'll say a number in English, you say it in Dutch. Luna: Okay, bring it on! Lucas: Eleven. Luna: Elf. Lucas: Fifteen. Luna: Vijftien. Lucas: Eighteen. Luna: Achttien. Lucas: Twenty. Luna: Twintig. Lucas: Nailed it! Now imagine you're at a market and you want to buy 12 apples. How do you say 12? Luna: Twaalf appels? Lucas: Exactly! Twaalf appels. Or if you're at a bakery, you might order 16 croissants. Luna: Zestien croissants. That's a lot of croissants! Lucas: Or 19 cookies. Luna: Negentien koekjes. Lucas: Perfect! Now, let's practice counting from 11 to 20 in order. Ready? Luna: Ready. Lucas: Elf, twaalf, dertien, veertien, vijftien, zestien, zeventien, achttien, negentien, twintig. Your turn. Luna: Elf, twaalf, dertien, veertien, vijftien, zestien, zeventien, achttien, negentien, twintig. Lucas: Wow, that was smooth! You sound like a native. Luna: Really? Oh, that's so good to hear. Lucas: Let me challenge you. Count backwards from 20 to 11. Luna: Oh, uhh... twintig, negentien, achttien, zeventien, zestien, vijftien, veertien, dertien, twaalf, elf. How was that? Lucas: Not bad! You hesitated at zeventien, but fine. Luna: Yeah, zeventien always trips me up a bit. Lucas: Let's practice just zeventien a few times. Zeventien. Luna: Zeventien. Lucas: Zeventien. Luna: Zeventien. Lucas: There you go. Now, can you say: I am 19 years old? Luna: Ik ben negentien jaar oud. Lucas: Perfect! And if you are 20? Luna: Ik ben twintig jaar oud. Lucas: Exactly. So now you know numbers 11 to 20. Let's do a final round. I'll say a number in Dutch, you tell me the English. Luna: Okay. Lucas: Veertien. Luna: Fourteen. Lucas: Zestien. Luna: Sixteen. Lucas: Achttien. Luna: Eighteen. Lucas: Twintig. Luna: Twenty. Lucas: And elf? Luna: Eleven. Lucas: Excellent work today, Luna. You really picked it up. Luna: Thanks, Lucas! This was fun. I'll practice counting everything around me. Lucas: Do that! And remember, you can always revisit this episode on Fexingo to practice more. Luna: Absolutely. See you next time, everyone! Lucas: Tot ziens! Practice those numbers and we'll talk again soon.
