Italian numbers...

I am learning numbers. Now I can count from uno to venti!
Uno, due, tre, quattro, cinque, sei, sette, otto, nove, dieci....undici, dodici, tredici, quattordici, quindici, sedici, diciassette, diciotto, diciannove, venti.
Numbers from uno to dieci is easy! But ones from undici to venti is a bit difficult to remember.
By the way, I learned the numbers and, one of shopping phrases. It is...

Vorrei chinque cornetti. = I want 5 croissants.

Vorrei chinque cornetti...Do you know italian 'r' sound? When I read the sentence aloud, my kids laughed because it sounds funny for them. Never mind! Repetition is great way to learn languages...I will repeat italian sentences many times from now....But...actually, it sounds funny for me, too. I have to get used to saying it.
