Yeah, I agree: I swear every time I get this question. I suggest splitting it in half and making two questions?
Also there is an audio bug on "șaizeci".

according to several websites it should be pronounced irregularly: cin-zeci, cin-sprezece,

And I thought Hungarian sentences were long. Nagyon hosszú!

I've been typing a couple letters, then copying the correct answer to a text document. Then when it comes up with the ones I got wrong I don;t have to try and spell ten Romanian words at once.

This text is too long, especially on timer. This is a problem with quite a few of the sentences in this course. It takes longer to type than the 30 seconds you have to begin with.

I worked it out by translating it out loud a couple of tines before typing

This should appear in a random order because once you translate the first few words and spot the pattern, the rest is just practising your counting skills!

are there any linguists here ? if yes I have a question : Indo European languages are divided in two groups Eastern and Wertern according to the way they say ONE HUNDRED in Sanskrit and Latin. The Eastern group is called the SATEM group and the Western group is called the KENTUM group. Now I see that Romanian uses SUTA for one hundred. This is more SATEM than KENTUM. But Romanian does belong to the KENTUM group, or not ?
Btw, the "satem" and "centum" division has been proven wrong anyway, because of the Tocharian language.

Yes, you are right but the Tokharian languages are extinct since the 9th century CE. It was inevitable that some KENTUM languages would have been spoken in Central Asia where they remained at the time of the Indo'European migrations to the west. However, today, there are NO Kentum languages spoken in the East.All belong to the Satem group. The only remaining Indo'European language still existing in Eastern Central Asia is TADJIK which is very closely related to Iranian Dari and Afghanistan Farsi.All are Satem.

Unfortunately, I don't speak Romanian yet, but I guess that here is some opinion about that subject (just cheat with Google translation ;) https://cabalinkabul.wordpress.com/2013/12/27/irelevanta-criteriului-centum-satem-in-lingvistica-indo-europeana/
(the comments on the page do not seem to agree, but still one gets some impression...)

well, i must thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is by far the best information I have received on the SATEM-KENTUM controversy. Though I don't speak Romanian either and just started studying it 2 weeks ago, i understand it pretty well when reading because my mother tongue is French and I speak very fluently Spanish-Portuguese and Italian. I also studied Latin and Classical Greek in my youth. I live in South America since over 28 years now.Thanks again.
