Show HN: I built a Tamagotchi that teaches French numbers

2 points by valzevul a day 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".
