Hoşgeldiniz! I am currently trying to learn Turkish and one challenge I have is quickly understanding numbers when someone says them quickly. In stores and markets, quickly recognizing numbers is an important skill.
I found that even though I "knew" all the numbers, I was not able to quickly understand them when they were spoken. So I set out to create a tool to let me practice. Thus Foreign Numbers was born.
It has one simple purpose: to help you become fluent in number comprehension.
Why focus on numbers?
Numbers are just a small part of learning a language. But mastering them is useful for a couple reasons:
- Numbers are everywhere and getting them exactly right is very important! Whether it is at the market, with your friends, or at the tax office; catching the difference between 4, 40, and 400 can prevent a costly mistake!
- Numbers serve as a good tool to improve listening comprehension. Since learning the numbers themselves is pretty easy, they are easily used to train yourself to quickly hear and recognize words you already know.
