      No (assuming English language) you’d need to count to 0-10 and then 12-15, and then 1000 as teens don’t match the normal number pronunciation exactly and 1000 brings in the thousand sound.

      I didn’t realize till now I must say 4 incorrectly. My cheeks come in, lips extend outward and mostly touch except a small hole in front of my front teeth, where my top teeth rest on top of my bottom lip. Almost like a lite whistle motion void the teeth touching my lip.

        I move my lips the same way you do. Another poster mentioned four, five as well.

        It’s not incorrect though - there’s not really such a thing as pronouncing incorrectly. People just speak how they speak and it’s always changing.
