Why numbers need their own practice

Most courses teach counting in an early lesson and move on. Then someone reads you a phone number and it is gone. Lexie keeps drilling until the number and the word arrive together, without translating in your head.

Set your own level

Choose easy, medium or hard and Lexie stays there, or leave it on auto and the difficulty follows how well you have been answering.

Listen

Hear it, then say it

Listen mode reads each number aloud with the word underneath.

Listening practice

Listen mode: a number with its French word underneath and buttons to hear it and move on

Choose
