About English Numbers
A small, focused website for one skill: catching spoken English numbers in real time.
Why it exists
Most listening practice is about whole conversations. Numbers are different: you either caught the digit or you did not, and asking someone to repeat a phone number three times has a real cost. This site gives you short, specific drills with immediate, digit-level feedback.
The first user
English Numbers was built by an adult learner in Australia who kept losing digits in phone numbers and prices. The first version exists to fix that for its maker; if it helps you too, that is the point.
What is built, and what is not
Now: phone numbers, thirteen versus thirty, and prices; pre-recorded synthetic audio in labelled English accents; digit-level feedback; replay, reveal, skip, retry and local progress; interface in English and Simplified Chinese.
Not yet: dates, times and large numbers, more interface languages, accounts, sync, speech recognition, adaptive difficulty. Each is listed only once it exists.
How the audio and content are made
Numbers are generated from explicit rules, verified by a program that reads the spoken script back into digits, and turned into speech by AI text-to-speech before publication. Nothing is generated while you practise, and no AI judges your answers: checking is rule-based and tested.
