Dates and Numbers

A couple of tips when learning numbers and dates in a new language. 

As you are putting things away, count them out in the new language. As you climb the stairs, uno, due, tre, quattro... Look at phone numbers and read them out in Italian. When you see a car, look at the registration plate and read out the numbers. With a plate that has "756", say "sette, cinque, sei". Then later when you are feeling more secure with your numbers, turn it into "seven hundred and fifty six" (settecentocinquantasei).

Each day, write out the date in your journal or diary, or even just a random piece of paper. Today is dominica, quindici luglio duemiladiciotto.

It's practise, and more practise, and a bit more on top. Use numbers and dates, and keep using them.
