hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to go back to declensions of numbers. something I was never able to handle. are there any tips that would help me make fewer mistakes ? specific rules ? mnemonic devices ?

so far, declining numbers has been almost impossible for me. I always make mistakes and these declensions seem so hard to remember. first, I don't always know what case I have to use. then, when a number is more than 200, even knowing the case doesn't help a lot since it takes me several minutes to decline it. of course, for a numbe such as 542698 (just an example), I would just use nominative since I don't want to spend hours just for the sake of saying something accurately.

so do I have to memorize everything or can I use some special tips to learn faster ?
and is it sometimes also difficult for russian speakers ?
