French Numbers - Listen and Repeat

Learn and practice saying French numbers

Practice your comprehension of French numbers with decimals by listening to this random series of numbers. The difference between English and French decimals is that the English decimal point is a period (aka full stop) and is called "point" when reciting numbers, whereas in French the decimal point is a comma and is called "virgule."
