Where Scottish Gaelic numbers get hard
These are the hints Lexie shows when a number falls in a tricky range.
- 20 to 39: fichead = 20, numbers added after
- 40 to 59: dà fhichead = two twenties (40)
- 60 to 79: trì fichead = three twenties (60)
- 80 to 99: ceithir fichead = four twenties (80)
Verbs
Lexie teaches Scottish Gaelic through numbers. Its verbs do not fit a pronoun-by-tense drill, so the app leaves verb drills out for this language.
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.
