Tips

grammar
Chinese uses (liǎng), not (èr), before measure-style numerals like (wàn, ten thousand) and 亿 (yì, hundred million). So 'two hundred million' is 两亿 (liǎngyì), not *亿. The same rule: 两万 (20,000), 两千 (2,000), 两百 (200) — but for plain digit-position counting like reading a phone number, is used.
mistakes
Beware: 一亿 = 100 million, 两亿 = 200 million, 十亿 = 1 billion (10^9), 百亿 = 10 billion. Chinese 亿 is the 10^8 'myriad of myriads' unit — converting to English requires multiplying by 100 million, not 1 million.
