| What threw me (and pushed my time to 3 minutes) was having studied Portuguese more recently than Spanish, so I kept trying variants of oitenta (otenta, ottenta, octenta, etc.) instead of ochenta. A Portuguese numbers quiz would be cool, since the two languages are so close yet so far. Also I think it might be nicer just to give the numerals "1, 2, ..." rather than "one, two," etc., since one tries so hard to recognize the numbers instantly without automatically translating into English. |
