Numbers are the hardest words to catch. Numbers by Ear trains your ear for them in dozens of languages: hear a number and type it, say it back, and play games that turn listening into fun.
Numbers by Ear iPhone & iPad
A price at the till, a platform change, a phone number read out fast. Every language builds its numbers its own way, and Numbers by Ear teaches yours with the voices already on your iPhone or iPad.
A number is spoken and you type what you heard. Every answer stays on screen written out, so the moment quatre-vingt-dix-sept becomes 97 is the one you remember.
Step through any number and hear it, see it written out, and see the pieces it is said in. Each language's building blocks come in order, with notes on the parts that trip learners up.
See a number and say it aloud. Your speech is recognized on your device, so you see what was heard straight away. Nothing is recorded or sent.
Stats show the numbers you mix up, like sixty and seventy, and the ones you only get right slowly. With Pro, Fix This builds a session from exactly those.
Stars from practice open short games in every language. Five are free, Pro adds five more, and in four of them the number you say is your move.
Hear a house number and deliver the parcel to the right door before the van drives past.
The voice reads a combination. Type each number to turn the dial, and the gold is yours.
The caller is quick. Mark each number on your card before it rolls out of reach.
Call out squares on the sea to find a whale, a dolphin and a turtle hiding under the waves.
Customers ask for a price, cents and all. Hand them the right crate before they run out of patience.
The seventh floor, the twelfth: say a floor to send the lift, or hear the guest and tap it.
Read a sign aloud and the car changes lanes. Steer for the gold coins all the way to the finish.
An event is pinned to the wall. Say a year and hear earlier or later until you have it.
Plus Good morning! (Pro), where you set the alarm to the time you hear, and Fill the gaps (free) on your Hundred square.
Spoken the way each language really says them, on their own or inside everyday sentences at a shop or a station, in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
Amounts with their cents, the way a shop assistant would read them. Free for everyone.
The 24-hour clock, from the first train to the last.
Days and months in the order each language puts them.
Whole numbers with their country code, read the way a voice in that language reads them.
Nineteen eighty-four, neunzehnhundertvierundachtzig, or the plain number.
Everything else numbers turn up in, all mixed in one review when you want a challenge.
Numbers by Ear is now free, with a one-time Pro unlock for every number type and targeted practice. No ads, no subscription, and if you bought the app before, Pro is already yours.
Prices, times, dates, phone numbers, years, percentages, decimals, ordinals and codes, spoken the way each language says them. Prices are free; the rest come with Pro.
See a number and say it aloud in the language you are learning. It is checked on the device, and nothing is recorded or sent.
Hear numbers inside everyday sentences, the way they come up in a shop or at a station. In English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
Choose the voice for each language and set the speaking speed. Slower plays the current number again at a gentler pace.
Stats show the numbers you mix up and the ones you only get right slowly, and Fix This practises exactly those.
Hear any number, price, time or date, see it written out and the pieces it is said in, learn the building blocks of each language, and read notes on the tricky parts.
Ten right answers a day, in any mix, make a day of your week, and the week ribbon shows which days you made. A reminder, if you want one, comes only on days you have not practised yet.
One session that mixes every kind of number, so you stop knowing what is coming.
Stars from the number ladder open short games in each language: deliver parcels, crack a safe, play bingo, spot whales and more. Five are free and Pro adds five more, and four of the ten are played by saying numbers aloud.
No ads, no subscription and no account, whichever you choose.
