TRANSCRIPT
“Hi I’m James, welcome back to Black Tie English! Today I’ve got a lesson for you on pronouncing numbers in British English. Before we start I just want to say hi to my new subscribers, thank you very much for joining Black Tie English If you haven’t subscribed you can - just tap the red button below and you can join us for my next and upcoming lessons.

First we’re going to look at the normal numbers like one two three and then after that we’re going to look at the ordinal numbers like first, second, tenth and then at the end of this lesson I’ve got some practice sentences for you to do on your own at home out loud, so that you can check how much you’ve learnt from this lesson and you can make progress on your own - because with practice you will improve.
