Arabic 101

I want to freaking learn the (basic) arabic language and will try get by with these numbers for starters. Sheesh, its not freaking easy!

Some article online said that forming numbers in Arabic is quite easy, from 13 to 19 you just place a number before ten for example 13 = three ten, instead of thirteen in English, 17 is seven ten in Arabic. From 21 to 99 you just need to reverse the numbers and add (wa- between the two numbers) 36 would be six wa- thirty instead of thirty six (sitta wa-thalathun), (wa means and).

Practice with me... c")
