Tips

usage
Chinese counts in (10,000) units: 二千万 = 2,000 x 10,000 = 20,000,000 (20 million). In speech 两千万 is more common than 二千万 - generally beats in front of measure-like words. 二千万 sounds more written/formal.
mistakes
Don't read this as 'two thousand ten thousand' - Chinese is the base unit for ten-thousands, so 千万 alone means 'ten million' (1,000 x 10,000), and 二千万 just doubles that to twenty million.
