Spanish - Counting to 900


We just learned how to count to 100 in Spanish! Wow!

What about 200 to 900?

In Spanish for the hundreds, they mostly use the first number and then cientos for hundred.
So 200 in Spanish is doscientos.

200 doscientos - sounds like dose-see-en-tohs /?/
300 trescientos - sounds like t-dayse-see-en-tohs /?/
400 cuatrocientos - sounds like koo-ah-t-doh-see-en-tohs /?/
500 quinientos - sounds like keen-ee-en-tohs /?/
600 seiscientos - sounds like say-see-en-tohs /?/
700 sietecientos - sounds like see-et-ay-see-en-tohs /?/
800 ochocientos - sounds like oh-cho-see-en-tohs /?/
900 novecientos - sounds like no-vay-see-en-tohs /?/
