RE: how to pronounce numbers
Cyrille, I too pronounce the 2nd "f" in fifth.

It wasn't until I read your post that I realised French doesn't have a word for "teenager"*- and/or if it did, the 17 18 and 19 year olds would be older than English teenagers.

*Google translates "teenager" to "adolescent"

I wonder whether using Quatre-vingts rather than huitante/octante has been correlated with being better at mental arithmetic...When I try to speak French, I pronounce an extra pause whilst my brain switches from translating to maths and back to translating. Smile
