Looks something weird right! so lets start with the pronunciation of the numbers.

Does that look easy !!!!!!!!!!!!! just read it many times and try to understand this. After you read them try to pronounce them many times. You know historians believe that zero was invented by an Indian mathematician and astronaut called Aryabhata around the 9th century C.E.  Below you will see Aryabhata's picture. 

Practice makes a man perfect!!!! So now lets go to our next step that is a small practice test. In this you just have to fill the write spelling of the number in Hindi. Don’t worry its just a small practice test and can turn up whenever needed, try to do it without seeing the answers.
