5.3.2024 = the fifth of March 2024<br>\n&#8211; 21.10. = the twenty-first of October<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Spoken:<\/strong><br>\n&#8211; <em>Der f\u00fcnfte M\u00e4rz zweitausendvierundzwanzig<\/em><br>\n&#8211; <em>Am einundzwanzigsten Oktober<\/em> (on the twenty-first of October)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ordinal numbers in German add <strong>-te<\/strong> (up to 19th) or <strong>-ste<\/strong> (20th onwards):<br>\n&#8211; 1. = erste (der erste M\u00e4rz)<br>\n&#8211; 2. = zweite<br>\n&#8211; 3. = dritte (irregular)<br>\n&#8211; 7. = siebte (the longer <em>siebente<\/em> exists but is rare)<br>\n&#8211; 8. = achte (irregular \u2014 not <em>achtte<\/em>)<br>\n&#8211;

Confusing zwei and drei on the phone.<\/strong> Say <em>zwo<\/em> instead of <em>zwei<\/em> on calls where clarity matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Getting 16, 17, 60, 70 wrong.<\/strong> Remember: <em>sechzehn\/siebzehn<\/em> (drop the -s and -en), <em>sechzig\/siebzig<\/em> (same).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.

Misreading German commas and points.<\/strong> <em>3,5<\/em> is three point five; <em>3.500<\/em> is three thousand five hundred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Saying <em>Null<\/em> wrong.<\/strong> It is pronounced \/n\u028al\/, not \/n\u028cl\/ (English &#8220;null&#8221;) or &#8220;oh&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Mixing up ordinals for dates.<\/strong> The 3rd is <em>der dritte<\/em> (not <em>der dreite<\/em>), the 7th is usually <em>siebte<\/em>, and the 8th is <em>achte<\/em>, not <em>achtte<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practise with real situations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Numbers in German feel fine on a list.
