The official pronunciation for this is twenty, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent6\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">with two of these tt sounds. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent7\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">But as you may have noticed listening to native speakers, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent8\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the second tt is not always pronounced. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent9\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">In fact, most of the time it&#8217;s not. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent10\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Most of the time it&#8217;s pronounced twenny, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent11\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">with only an N sound in the second syllable. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent12\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Twenny as opposed to twenty. So the word begins, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent13\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">tt, with the T sound, tw-. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent14\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Followed by the W consonant sound where <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent15\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the lips form that tight circle, twe-,<\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent16\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the &#8216;eh&#8217; as in &#8216;bed&#8217; vowel sound [e], twen-. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent17\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">You can then see the front part of the <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent18\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">tongue moves up to make that N. Twen-n-e. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent19\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">And the &#8216;ee&#8217; as in &#8216;she&#8217; [i]. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent20\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">If you are going to pronounce it the official and proper way, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent21\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">twent-, you would then add the T, with the escaping air, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent22\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">after the N sound. Twenty. But as I said, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent23\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">most people will pronounce this &#8216;twenny&#8217;. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent24\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">And this is true of all of these kinds of words: <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent25\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">20, 30, 40, 50. You don&#8217;t hear me saying &#8216;twentty&#8217;, &#8216;thirtty&#8217;, &#8230; <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent26\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">with that tt sound, although that would be the official pronunciation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent27\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So, thirty. Thirty begins with the unvoiced TH sound [?], <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent28\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">where the tongue must come through the teeth, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent29\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">then the &#8216;ur&#8217; as in &#8216;her&#8217; vowel sound [?], thir-. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent30\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So the tongue pulls back as it fattens a bit and then raises. <\/span>#NAME?<span id=\"STtranscriptContent32\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I really feel like it functions like a D, the tongue goes up, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent33\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">this part of the tongue here, so it&#8217;s forward. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent34\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">It then makes a little bit of sound with the <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent35\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">vocal cords before it pulls down, and then the <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent36\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">corners of the lips pull wide, -ty, for the &#8216;ee&#8217; as in &#8216;she&#8217; vowel sound. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent37\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Thirty. Forty. The ff, F consonant sound, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent38\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the &#8216;oh&#8217; as in &#8216;no&#8217; [o?] followed by the R [?], for-, -ty. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent39\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">And again, this same ending. Forty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent40\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Fifty. The f consonant sound, the &#8216;ih&#8217; as in &#8216;sit&#8217; [?], <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent41\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and the F consonant sound, fif-, fif-, -ty. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent42\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">And this same ending. Fifty. Sixty. Six, just like the number six, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent43\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">or the first part of 16, six, followed by -ty. Sixty. Seventy. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent44\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Again, the first part is just like the number 7, or the first part of 17, seven-, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent45\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">seventy, with this same -ty ending. Seventy. Eighty. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent46\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Now here, we don&#8217;t get the tt from -ty, but we also <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent47\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">don&#8217;t say the tt at the end of eight. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent48\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">It&#8217;s ay, the &#8216;ay&#8217; as in &#8216;say&#8217; diphthong [e?], followed by -ty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent49\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Eighty, eighty. Ninety. 90 again has nine, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent50\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">just like the number 9 or in 19, nine &#8211; ty. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent51\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">If you&#8217;ll notice, when the tongue comes up for the second N, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent52\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">nin-, it&#8217;s in position to make the D sound. Nin-. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent53\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So just make a little noise with your vocal cords, 90, 90. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent54\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">One hundred. Hundred begins with the H sound, hh, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent55\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and the next sound is the &#8216;uh&#8217; as in &#8216;butter&#8217; sound [?]. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent56\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So the mouth is in position for the &#8216;uh&#8217; vowel sound, hh, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent57\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">as you release air for the H. Hun-, the N consonant sound, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent58\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">followed by -dred, the D consonant sound, the R consonant sound, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent59\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the schwa [?], and the R consonant sound. -dred, -dred. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent60\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So, the tongue is here for the D, pulls back a bit for the R, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent61\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">down for the schwa, and back up again for the D. -dred, -dred, hundred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent62\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">One thousand. Thousand begins with the unvoiced TH sound, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent63\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">where the tongue comes through the teeth, thou-. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent64\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">It opens into the &#8216;ow&#8217; as in &#8216;now&#8217; diphthong [a?]. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent65\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Thous-, zzz, voiced z sound, the schwa, N, and D sound. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent66\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">-sand, -sand. Thousand. One million. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent67\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Million begins with the M consonant sound, mm, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent68\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">opens into the &#8216;ih&#8217; as in &#8216;sit&#8217;, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent69\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">it then has the L that finishes the syllable, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent70\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">so it&#8217;s a dark L, so it has that uh before the <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent71\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">tongue moves up to make the L, -ion. The Y consonant sound [j], <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent72\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">followed by the schwa and the N consonant sound. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent73\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Million. Billion. Almost the same, except for the <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent74\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">first consonant sound is different. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent75\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Here it is the bb, B consonant sound. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent76\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Billion, Billion. With 100, 1000, 1,000,000, etc, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent77\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">you would probably only say &#8216;one&#8217; if you were counting or to emphasize. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent78\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">In most cases, you would probably say a, a hundred, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent79\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">where the letter A would be pronounced <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent80\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">as a schwa connected to the next word. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent81\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">A hundred, a thousand. I need a hundred dollars. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent82\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Or, what would you do with a million dollars?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"video\"><\/a><strong>Video:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1052-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/54%20-%20How%20to%20Pronounce%20Numbers%2020%20-%201%20Billion%20American%20English.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/54%20-%20How%20to%20Pronounce%20Numbers%2020%20-%201%20Billion%20American%20English.mp4\">https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/54%20-%20How%20to%20Pronounce%20Numbers%2020%20-%201%20Billion%20American%20English.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Numbers are something you\u2019ll use constantly in conversational English, from amounts to times of day. \u00a0Get more comfortable with the pronunciation of numbers.\u00a0\u00a0 YouTube blocked?
