My pronunciation of numbers has always been a hit and miss whether they were about money, hours, day/month/year.
For example if I had to say soixante euros, 90-95% of the time it came to be 60 € in red and the percentage grade would be 50% even if the rest of the sentence was correct and spelled in alphabets. If I got a "soixante euros" once and I hoped to be struck by lightning twice but no, I would never get it back after 30-50 tries. I gave up and move on without ever having any improvement after a few months.
Vingt et une heures will be 21 h in red
Le quatorze février deux mille un will be Le 14 février 2001 with the numerals in red
On the one hand I don't understand why the VR could pick up 60 € but not the spelling itself. On the other hand assuming I were indeed saying 60 € then the French speaking salesperson would understand me in a shop. This same pondering applied to hours, day/month/year.
Any suggestions? I am desperate and frustrated.
Merci mille fois
