Key learning points
- The Spanish vowels [a], [e], [o] are strong vowels. When they appear next to each other, they are pronounced separately.
- Numbers 16-19 use 'dieci-' + the numbers 6, 7, 8 or 9, all in one word.
- Numbers 21-29 use 'veinti-' and a number from 1-9, all in one word.
- Numbers 31-39 use 'treinta' + 'y' + a number from 1-9, in three separate words.
- Many months are cognates. Unlike in English, they start with lowercase letters, unless at the start of a sentence.

Teacher tip
You may like to extend the practice of numbers 1-31 by playing bingo. Ask pupils to write down 9 numbers from 1-20, 21-31 or 1-31, and call out numbers for pupils to mark off their game boards. You could also use the numbers to count items in the classroom.
