Hi Chiara,
I think �good at � is the only option. good at remebering numbers or dates / good at writing / good at sports / good at words.

Both are correct gabitza... for example: you can say "I am good with numbers" / "John is good with words, he knows how to express himself." / "I �m good with dates, I can remember everybody �s birthday or anniversary."

You know, �good with � scratches my ear. I don �t think I �m going to get used to it soon, LOL.

Hi Chiara
