I don’t how you teach basic counting at a young age in French without learning higher grade level math.
Joke aside, it's not taught as 4 × 20 +10 but simply “90 is pronounced quatre-vingt-dix” — which kinda is a mouthful, but you rarely count to 90 as a kid anyway.
Sounds like you were just a quitter. I counted to 100 all the time to show off.
I'm counting to 100 right now, fight me!
It's only 3.5 syLAbles, barely longer to say then "seventy".
Same number of syllables is the letter "w" has in English.
If you add a little "uh" to the end of it, yeah.
Which surely works only until you need to say 91, which does not start "quatre-vingt-dix."
