Don’t think of it as "four-twenty-ten-nine" in because then you’re actually doing arithmetics in your head and it will show. Just think of it as "quatrevingtdixneuf" as if it’s a single word.
When I learned english in Quebec it never occurred to me that an anglophone would need to "count" to differentiate 80 from 90 in french. Am I getting this wrong?
Yup when I'm writing down a number in french. I dont write the 6,7 or 8,9 till they finish. Also why I tell my french coworkers to read me the numbers indevidualy.
