Show HN: I built a Tamagotchi that teaches French numbers

2 points by valzevul 15 hours ago

Hey HN! Halfway through moving to Canada and whilst my conversational French gets me by, I'm absolutely rubbish when someone rattles off phone numbers at full speed (quatre-vingt-dix-neuf anyone?).

So I built a virtual pet that thrives on correctly answered number challenges. 20-second drills throughout the day: get them right and Lexie grows, get them wrong and it gets a bit sad (but never dies, this isn't the 90s).

Speak, type, or tap your answers. Would love any feedback/bugreports.

Or just rant about how the Belgians sensibly say "nonante-neuf" whilst we're stuck with "four-twenties-nineteen".
