Los números (Numbers) This section introduces the names of the numbers 0-59 in Spanish. You may already know many of these numbers in Spanish. For example, have you ever heard of the card game Uno (One) or of the celebration Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May)?
Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May) Many people believe that May 5 is the anniversary of Mexican independence, but they are wrong. Mexico’s Independence Day is September 16. Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May, is the holiday that honors a small Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Although in the end the Mexican army was defeated, the victory of “La Batalla de Puebla” came to symbolize Mexican unity and patriotism. Today, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated throughout throughout the country, but especially in Puebla and in Mexico City. Military parades are held to pay respect to heroes, soldiers, and civilians who gave their lives for their countries. Schools also take part in the parades, which require months of preparation. Cinco de Mayo ends with the traditional shouts of ¡Viva México! and people looking forward to the next national holiday: El 16 de Septiembre Día de la Independencia de México.
Think of other Spanish numbers you may have seen in movies or heard in songs. The following pages begin our journey to learning Spanish. Get ready to practice!
