Exercices avec les chiffres

Numbers are one of the most basic and essential aspects of language, and at times one of the most confounding. Trying to make sense of numbers being rattled off in the form of prices, phone numbers, and dates can be extremely frustrating – and this is especially true with French double digits starting at 70. This selection of lessons and exercises will help you learn, remember, and understand French numbers of all kinds.

And to make it more fun, I’ve included some Itchy Feet comics!*
