Today we will learn how to count in Greek!<\/p>\n

Greece, like many countries, is using the international numeric system, which is based on the Arabic numerals. The counting is in the same manner as in the other languages. The difference here is that the number compounds start from the number 13 and not from the number 20 as for example in English. The numbers from 13 to 19 do not have their own word but they are built with the base of 10. However, these numbers differ from the numbers after 20 because even though they are built in the same manner, they are written as a single word. After the number 20, like in English, every digit is a separate word.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that like in my alphabet\u2019s post I will give you the correct sound and not the correct spelling.<\/p>\n
