French numbers are ridiculous. Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf? That's "four-twenty-ten-nine" for 99. Meet Lexie: a tamagotchi-inspired game that makes French practice stick – especially the ridiculous bits. It grows when you practice, evolves when you’re right, and doesn’t punish you for being wrong or missing a day. Fully offline, zero ads. French is free; extra languages are a one-time unlock.

Hey folks! This isn't a language learning app, Duolingo and Anki are rather good at that already (one is better than the other though). Lexie just does the boring bits they skip: numbers, irregular verbs, the things you technically learnt at school but can't recall when it matters. The whole app is a blob that quizzes you and grows when you get things right, which is more than I could say for my Tamagotchi in the noughties. Are there any other languages out there with a properly unhinged counting systems? What languages should I add next?

@build_with_aj Animal Crossing comparison is a high praise! Android is on the radar but no timeline yet - will shout when it happens

@build_with_aj  @valzevul It would be a blessing if it hits the Android market! I'd use it every day!

@busmark_w_nika I spent an unreasonable amount of time on its happy dance animation, so yes - very aware! (get a few levels in to check it out 💃)

Wow Vadim! Gamifying learning is key cause it makes it enjoyable and friendly. It’s super cool. Do you mind to compete with Duolingo or is it another value proposition?

@german_merlo1 thank you! I'd say complement rather than compete. Lexie doesn't teach languages, it helps to drill the bits that other language apps breeze past

@valzevul ohh got it! Even better so!

The 'no punishment for missing a day' philosophy is such a relief. The Duolingo owl actually gives me anxiety when I'm busy.

@liusally4 that owl has a lot to answer for! Lexie might sulk a bit if you disappear, but I had to draw the line at passive-aggressive push notifications at 2am

Congrats on the launch of Lexie on Product Hunt! 🎉 Really like how you’ve taken one of the most painful, high-friction parts of language learning—things like French numbers and verb conjugations—and wrapped it into a cosy, Tamagotchi-style experience that fits naturally into micro-moments throughout the day. The offline-first, no-ads, one-time unlock model also feels very aligned with what serious learners and parents are looking for, so excited to see Lexie grow into a go-to drill companion across more languages.🩷​
