"This is an extremely good way to either learn or improve your Chinese. The teachers are very well-qualified, the scheduling is extremely flexible, and the price is unbelievably cheap -- a small fraction for what you would ordinarily have to pay in the US for such high quality one-on-one tutoring. I am recommending it to all of my students."

" The teachers are very nice and cater the material just for your Chinese language level and preferences. This is much better for me than a standard Chinese class because I can move at my own pace."

Measure word

In Chinese language, a numeral alone cannot function as an attribute but must be combined with a measure word inserted between the numeral and the noun it modifies.

Examples:

两张票 two tickets
一个人 one person
两家商店 two shops
一本书 one book
三幅地图 three maps
