I guess my knowledge of German is still too basic. I know in the hundreds it goes left to right so I assumed that it would continue until infinity. That is extremely confusing. French and English are very simple and consistent by comparison; you just need to memorize the first 10 to 20 numbers, every 10th number from 0 until 100, every thousandth number from 0 until infinity (or however high you want to know). All the other numbers can be derived using the same simple rules.
