First, second, third, 3,721 people, 2,462, 5.2 million, 220, 2462. Hi everyone, welcome to a big numbers sprint. Sprint is an exercise that I've created that is founded on my pronunciation confidence method that is designed to help you practice in an intentional way through repetitions and implementation in real phrases and sentences. The idea of repetition is taking it from learning something to implementing it and using it right away so you remember it. I have many sprints that I have shared and I'm going to link them in the description below if you like this type of method. Think of it like a workout, like a 10-minute workout that you do at the beginning of the day to build your strength or to become more fit. This is why I

created sprints. And by the way, in my membership Beyond, we have daily sprints that are rotating every single day so you do them and you are good to go. Now, big numbers, numbers that are three digits and more. Why? Because I noticed that people get them confused. They know how to say 1 2 3 4 5 or 21 32 55 but once it becomes the hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, and millions, this is where people tend to get confused. So, I decided to create a sprint which is a 10-minute drill that you get to practice with me. So, get ready, turn your phone off, close the door, and let's get started. Okay, let's warm up by just massaging the jaw.

Tongue twister. Unique New York, unique New York, unique New York. And now let's say a few numbers. First, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, 10th. Again, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, 10th. One more time. First, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, 10th. Okay, very good. Let's do one last warm-up. 13, 30. 14, 40. 15, 50. 16, 60. 17, 70. 18, 80. 19, 90. 100. Good. Now moving on to practicing big numbers, three digits or more. But before that, if you're new to my channel, then my name is Hadar. I'm a

non-native speaker of English. I'm here to help you speak English with clarity, confidence, and freedom. And one of the things that I love doing is creating very efficient and short exercises for my students to practice pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary.

It's not 300s and four, 300, 300, 300 and four, or just 304. I usually use and. 304. The document had 304 pages. 220. 220, or 220, 220, 220. 220 * 4 is 880.

Just follow me. 220 * 4 is 880. 989, 989. The total bill came out to $989. Moving on to four digits. 2,462. But, in everyday English, you actually don't pronounce it this way.
