Being an #English #teacher from the UK, I tend to teach learners that #numbers like this: 2.25 are spoken as two point two five. In Italian, decimals as read as two point twenty five and when I hear this, I correct it. However, Iβve noticed that non-native speakers often say two point twenty five - so, correct or not correct, that is the question. Probably depends on whether English #language learners interact with more with non native or native English speakers. Would you agree?

Well, there's correct, two thousand and twenty five, and what a bunch of native English-speakers say, twenty twenty-five, so I wouldn't get too bothered about it.

@SmartmanApps Yup, I know about that. Then thereβs how to read 1,500 or 7,500 or 12,500 if you are from the USA. And thatβs not to mention how native speakers who work with financial markets read some numbers. As ever, context is king.
