Bonjour à tous, hello everyone, welcome back to the French Made Easy podcast.

This is episode 193, numéro 193 !

Today, we’re going to tackle French numbers from 70 to 100.

If you already know how to count from 0 to 69, this is your next step.

And if you haven’t yet, make sure you go back to episode 32, where I teach you how to count from 0 to 70.

French numbers from 70 onwards can be a little tricky, because they’re built differently, but don’t worry, I’ll break it down step by step.

Numbers 70–79

In French, 70 is “soixante-dix”, which literally means “sixty-ten.”

Then we keep going:

• 70 → soixante-dix
• 71 → soixante et onze 
• 72 → soixante-douze 
• 73 → soixante-treize
• 74 → soixante-quatorze
• 75 → soixante-quinze
• 76 → soixante-seize
• 77 → soixante-dix-sept
• 78 → soixante-dix-huit
• 79 → soixante-dix-neuf

Numbers 80–89

80 in French is quatre-vingts — which literally means “four twenties.”

And then:

• 80 → quatre-vingts
• 81 → quatre-vingt-un (attention, NOT quatre-vingt-et-un)
• 82 → quatre-vingt-deux
• 83 → quatre-vingt-trois
• 84 → quatre-vingt-quatre
• 85 → quatre-vingt-cinq
• 86 → quatre-vingt-six
• 87 → quatre-vingt-sept
• 88 → quatre-vingt-huit
• 89 → quatre-vingt-neuf

Numbers 90–100

Finally, 90 is built as “four twenties and ten” → quatre-vingt-dix.

Then we go on:

• 90 → quatre-vingt-dix
• 91 → quatre-vingt-onze (again, for this one, NOT quatre-vingt-et-onze)
• 92 → quatre-vingt-douze
• 93 → quatre-vingt-treize
• 94 → quatre-vingt-quatorze
• 95 → quatre-vingt-quinze
• 96 → quatre-vingt-seize
• 97 → quatre-vingt-dix-sept
• 98 → quatre-vingt-dix-huit
• 99 → quatre-vingt-dix-neuf
• 100 = cent 🎉

Et voilà ! That's how you count all the way to 100 in French.
