Would like to “fix” the issue with the first few numbers after 10. They make it much harder to teach a young child the concept of base ten counting. Would be much easier if we would replace “ten” by “teny” then “eleven” -> “teny-one” etc.

Actually it should be "onety" and "onety-one". "ten" is as much of a problem as eleven and twelve.

Mind you, I've always had a soft spot for dozenal so could quite happily go the other way, but I guess that's a different discussion

One ten one, one ten two, etc is my preferred pronunciation for 11, 12...

Here trams are numbered 1 to 10, and the latter I tell my kid is "one oh", not "ten". No need to jump into place notation just yet (he's not yet two).
