Numbers in Chinese 1–20
By Dmytro Syrykh, the parent who makes Kidster
Spoken by a native Chinese voice, the same recording a child hears in the Kidster app.
Numbers 1–10 are free in Kidster; 11–20 come with Premium.
Good to know
Mandarin numbers are perfectly regular: eleven is 十一 (shíyī), “ten-one”, and twenty is 二十 (èrshí), “two-ten”. Before a measure word, two becomes 两 (liǎng): 两个 means “two of something”. The recordings are in Mandarin.
