Dr. Agon's Spanish Numbers

Want to practice reading and writing your numbers in Spanish, but aren't sure how? Well, you're in the right place!

Dr. Agon's Spanish Numbers is a freely available downloadable game that allows you to practice your Spanish numbers between 0 and 2,000,000!

You can download the game here.

After downloading the game, pick the range of numbers you want to practice by indicating the smallest and largest numbers of the range.
Next choose which mode of play you want to do: Easy, Medium, or Hard.

In Easy mode, the game provides you with the written-out version of a randomly selected number, and five randomly selected numbers in digits. Your job is to click on the correct number.


In Medium mode, the reverse happens. The game provides you with a number in digits, and you need to choose which written-out version is correct.


Finally, in Hard mode, the game provides you with the written-out version of the number and you need to identify the number using digits.


All three versions of the game are communicative input activities, which means that you are being forced to associate the provided Spanish with something meaningful (the digits). Communicative input has been shown to be one of the most effective ways to learn vocabulary, so hopefully this game will help you learn your numbers in Spanish!

As always, I'd love you hear any feedback that you may have about this tool!

Happy Language Learning!
