Fluent Numerals is designed to help you become a fluent listener AND speaker of numerals in a foreign language. Because knowing the names of numbers is invaluable in any language, Fluent Numerals is ideal for anyone interested in learning another language. Explore: The Explore tab is a playground for language enthusiasts. Fluent Numerals supports every language/region that has both speech synthesis and speech recognition. No need to get separate apps for different languages: with Fluent Numerals you can hear "1-2-3" in Swedish and then at the flip of a switch hear "123" in Japanese. And to find out if you can say "9" in German, just make another easy language change, hold down the record button, and speak into the mic. Challenges: Put your skills to the test with the challenges Fluent Numerals offers for both listening and speaking. In listening challenges, a speech synthesizer says a number or a series of digits and your goal is to enter the correct numbers using the keypad. In speaking challenges, your goal is to pronounce the number you see on the screen (either as the entire number or separate digits) well enough so that a speech recognizer for the language you selected will understand you. Just hold down the record button and speak into the mic. And unlike traditional "listen and repeat" lessons, Fluent Numerals gives you immediate feedback on your performance. Fluent Numerals is free to try and is initially limited to numbers of up to 3 digits using digits 1-5. If you find that Fluent Numerals helps you become more fluent with numerals, you can unlock the full version with an in-app purchase to access the entire range of numbers the app offers.
Obby Spanish

Half a billion people speak Spanish across 20+ countries — the most useful language decision many learners ever make. And it starts kindly: pronunciation is honest, what you see is what you say, from hola to gracias. Where learners stall is depth: ser versus estar, gendered nouns, and the thousands of everyday words between ordering coffee and holding a conversation. Obby Spanish covers exactly that stretch: 6,161 words, each spoken aloud in native-quality audio, all the way to fluency. LEARNING ON AUTOPILOT One button runs the engine. Tap Launch Learning and the app decides everything: which new words you meet, when you are quizzed, when older words return. New words appear once on a preview page before the session — see it, hear it, move on — then the quiz begins and nothing interrupts it. FSRS spaced repetition schedules each word to come back right before you would forget it. Words that resist you get gentler questions until they hold, and once your queue is clear, refresher sessions keep strong vocabulary from fading. You start at A1 like everyone else; from there the pace follows your answers, not a fixed plan. QUIZ-FIRST, ALWAYS This is quiz-first learning — you answer, you never read chapters: • Multiple choice both ways — Spanish → English and English → Spanish • Listening quizzes: the audio plays, you pick what it means • Matching pairs that sharpen instant recognition • A speaker icon on every word — tap to replay as often as you like Want the wheel yourself? Configure quiz sets length, topics, CEFR level, direction and timer. Review words is strict by design: it replays only what is due — no padding, ever. WATCH YOURSELF LEVEL UP The home screen keeps score: a bar of words you genuinely know, your live CEFR position between A1 and C2, and a learner title that climbs with your vocabulary. Streaks, word goals and 72 achievements line the road — one waits for the day you have met all 6,161 words. WHAT'S INSIDE • 6,161 Spanish words and phrases in 24 everyday topics — food, travel, work, health, feelings, numbers and beyond • Native-quality audio on every entry — none skipped, none silent • The complete CEFR ladder, A1 to C2 — far past phrasebook territory • Vocabulary that serves you in Madrid and Mexico City alike • Learn Spanish FROM English, French, Russian, German, Italian or Thai THE STORY Obby is built by one person. I moved to Thailand, needed to actually learn the language — not greetings, the real vocabulary — and couldn't find an app that took an adult learner from beginner to advanced without accounts, ads and subscriptions in the way. So I built it myself, end to end. The little mascot is named after Obby, a real Thai teacher whose classes inspired this app. A share of every sale supports her. HONEST AND YOURS • Free to try — one single purchase unlocks all 6,161 words, forever: no subscription, no ads • No account, ever: install, open, answer • 100% offline from the first tap — all words and audio live inside the app • Zero data collected; the privacy policy fits on one page • Progress is stored on your device and carried over by your phone's own backup From hola to C2, one honest quiz at a time.
