    Is that a French stereotype I am not aware of?

    Because, I’ve got a bit of experience in teaching math, and I wish most kids in that class could speak math naturally.

      They count very weird. For example to say 87 in french you say four twenties seven (quatre vingt sept) 92 in french is four twenties twelve (quatre vingt douze).

            I lucked out living in a place with a completely logical numbering system thankfully :3… even english is slightly weird with 11 and 12 not following the -teen pattern (guessing a holdover for using dozens/base12)
