In plain words

Foreign Numbers is an iOS app that helps users learn how to recognize and pronounce numbers in 26 languages, including Russian, Indonesian, Romanian, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish. The app functions as both a reference tool and training platform, allowing users to look up numbers, hear native speaker pronunciations, and take listening tests to build automatic recognition skills. It is designed for iPad and offers both free and in-app purchase options.

From the sources

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS. I am studying Chinese and I find this app very useful. One suggestion I have though is that in Chinese when giving someone your phone number people usually say yao 幺(yao) instead of 一 (yi) because 一 (yi) can be mistaken for 七(qi),but other than that the app has been perfect for me. Thank you. I am studying Chinese and I find this app very useful.

    Recently moved to Egypt, and in dire need to get the numbers down. Great excuse to explore learning software some more. Possibly very niche, but maybe it is useful for someone else out there. Feedback is always welcome.
