is that so hard?

edit:

sorry guys... I`m French.. so the way I say these numbers is the way I pronounce them. :(

"six" is just "sis like in sister".

Here's a more precise pronunciation guide:

Un- (uhn) make 'n' short; almost silent.

Deux- combine the sounds "ooh" and "oo" (as in 'took')

Trois- (tchwa) The 'ch' is not as in 'chair'. It is a sound used a lot in French with the letter 'r'. Think of a regular 'h' sound, except more forceful.

Quatre- ('kat' or 'kat-chuh') sometimes this sounds like 'cat'. Sometimes the 're' is pronounced at the end using the same 'h' sound as in trois.

Cinq- (sank) pronounce the 'in' like 'an'.

Six- (sees)

Sept- (set)

Huit- (wueet) position lips as if whistling. It's like saying 'oui' with a 't'.

Neuf- (noof) pronounce the 'oo' between 'oo' as in 'foot' and a British 'r'.

Dix- (dees)

Hope this helps!
Bonne chance!

The easiest way is to just count things in french around your house, like there are un deux trois light bulbs in my room. Or my dog has un deux trois quatre feet. etc.

You ask how do you SAY the numbers. In English it would be something like this:

un (sounds more like on)
doo (sounds like long o but stop it short)
twa
cat
sank (very short a as in the word onk)
seis (long e like seek)
set
weet
nouf
dees (very slight s at end)

Correct spellings are real easy to find on internet. Try babelfish.com

With respect to Serenity, in this context, say and pronounce are the same thing. Alina, you want to know how to say ,not how to spell, OK?
This will give you a very English accent, but: urn, der, twa, catrer sank cease, sett, wheat, nerf, deece. Hope this helps.
