Step 1

Teacher explanation

At this stage, numbers are most useful as ready-made chunks: apartment numbers, bus numbers, prices, ages, and phone digits.

Notice the teen pattern. After twelve, many numbers belong to one sound family: trylika, keturiolika, penkiolika, and so on.

Learner notes

English support
Pronunciation
  • Lithuanian teen numbers are longer than English ones, so keep a steady rhythm.
  • Do not rush aštuoni or devyni.
Watch for
  • English teen endings are short; Lithuanian teens are fuller and need cleaner syllables.
Tip
  • Learn 13-19 as one sound family, then attach them to real chunks like buto numeris keturiolika.
You can now

I can catch and say small numbers for practical details such as floors, prices, and digits.
