两块" instead of "èr kuà 二块" for money |

"Accent Mandarin spent the time to really understand my current ability and tailor study materials to account for what I already know and what is important for me to learn. Since I started, I've become much much more comfortable using and understanding Chinese in both my work and daily life. It's great to see some significa nt progress in such a short time."
