We had introducted you to basic German numbers in the previous lesson. So, hope you know how to count from 1 to 100 in German. Now, let’s take a look at some large numbers. In this lesson, you will learn German numbers up to 1 Trillion or 1,000,000,000,000.
In daily life, you don’t need to use large numbers frequently. Large numbers would come into picture if you read newspapers, where information about transactions in billions of Euros could be mentioned. If you need to read out large numbers while reading or calculating, we have you covered!
