Where Italian numbers get hard

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

  • 11 to 16: special forms: undici, dodici, tredici...
  • Tens drop the final vowel before uno and otto (ventuno, ventotto)

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.
