Does putting a french word before English numbers count as counting in french?

No, simply putting a French word before English numbers does not count as counting in French.

Here's why:

* Numbers are fundamentally different: Each language has its own unique system for counting, with specific words and rules.

* Context matters: Just because a French word is used doesn't automatically make the entire phrase French.

* Misleading: Saying "un deux trois" might sound like counting in French, but it's actually a mix of languages and could be confusing.

To count in French, you need to use the correct French words for numbers, such as:

* Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix...

Example:

* Incorrect: "Un one two three"

* Correct: "Un, deux, trois"

So, while it's fun to play with language, it's important to use the correct terms for accurate communication.
