Where Danish numbers get hard

These are the hints Lexie shows when a number falls in a tricky range.

  • 21 to 99: ones before tens (enogtyve = one-and-twenty)
  • 50 to 59: halvtreds = half-third × 20 (2.5 × 20)
  • 60 to 69: tres = three × 20
  • 70 to 79: halvfjerds = half-fourth × 20 (3.5 × 20)
  • 80 to 89: firs = four × 20
  • 90 to 99: halvfems = half-fifth × 20 (4.5 × 20)

First words

Scottish Gaelic has no starter deck in Lexie. Its article changes with gender, case and the first consonant, so you build your own deck by photographing things.

How the practice works

  • Three ways to drill: a quiz, your voice, or by ear.
  • The blob reacts to every answer and thrives when you practise.
  • Rounds are short, and the numbers get longer as you level up.
