HOW TO COUNT FROM 1 TO 20 IN ITALIAN
Counting from numbers 1 to 20 in Italian is simple and follows a similar structure to counting in English. Much like in English, you would place the number between 1 and 9 at the end of the tens number. 
For example, the number 32 or “trentadue” is 30 (trenta) and 2 (due). Put “trenta” and “due” together and you have 32. 
EXCEPTIONS COUNTING WITH TENS IN ITALIAN 
For the correct Italian numbers pronunciation, venti (20), trenta (30), quaranta (40), cinquanta (50) and on, requires removing the last vowel when using uno (1) and otto (8). For instance, 31 – trentuno and 38 – trentotto, are written and pronounced with a minor accent. 
RULES FOR LEARNING NUMBERS 1 TO 100 IN ITALIAN
On the other hand, is important to mention that when counting in Italian avoid the use of a dash or the word “and” when writing out the numbers. 
Apart from a few exceptions when referring to feminine or masculine vowels, articles and names, we take a closer look at the easiest ways to count in Italian. 
INDEFINITE ARTICLES COUNTING IN ITALIAN
In addition, the use of cardinal numbers in Italian does not differ when referring to gender; however, a different set of rules apply to “uno” or “one.” 
Also, when using a feminine name, the -a suffix is applied, and we express una instead of uno. For example: 

Uno psicologo (A psychologist) – Masculine 
Una psicologa (A psychologist) – Feminine 

Indefinite articles in Italian include un, una and uno. The -a in una is often dropped when the name begins with a vowel. 
COUNTING NUMBERS 1 TO 100 IN ITALIAN
