Die Zahlen auf Deutsch von 0-10 (the numbers in German from 0-10)
Knowing how to count is an essential part of any language that you learn. Numbers in German are actually not that difficult. But there are some differences to the way one counts in English - but you’ll learn that a bit later. Let’s start with the easy stuff!
I recorded the numbers on audio for you, so that you can listen to them and repeat them aloud if you’d like.
0 null
1 eins
2 zwei
3 drei
4 vier
5 fünf
6 sechs
7 sieben
8 acht
9 neun
10 zehn

The #German spelling alphabet
Recently, @kat_rees asked me on twitter to write something about the spelling alphabet. I thought that’s a good idea!
So, the history of the German “Buchstabiertafel” or “Telefonalphabet” started in 1890 in Berlin. Names in its phonebook were spelled by using numbers. So BABSI would have been “2 1 2 18 9”.
Since spelling a word like that is obviously a bit cumbersome, a different system was introduced only a couple of years later: Spelling something by saying a particular word for each letter which starts with the same letter. It helped to avoid misunderstandings during spelling e.g. complicated names or foreign terms and was way easier than the numbers of course. And that’s why it’s still used today.
After a whole bunch of changes over the years, the current list is defined in the “Phonodiktat” in the Federal Republic of Germany.
I pronounced it for you in this audio file. :)
