Numbers and verbs are the part of French homework a parent can help with, even without speaking French.

The routine

  1. Two minutes of listening. Listen mode reads each number with the word underneath, and your child repeats it.
  2. Five minutes of quiz. Three answers, one right. Let them pick the level, or leave it on Auto.
  3. Three minutes out loud. Voice mode asks for the answer by voice. Getting it wrong is part of it.

What to practise

Ask the teacher which numbers and verbs the class is on. If it is numbers up to 100, or the present tense of être, avoir, aller and faire, Lexie covers it.

You do not need to speak French

The app checks the answers. Your job is to sit nearby and notice which numbers come back wrong, then start with those tomorrow. The progress screen shows accuracy for numbers and for verbs.

Settings worth knowing

Lexie has no ads and no account. If Screen Time communication limits are on, the open-ended tutor chat is not offered and postcards stay in the app. More for parents.
