I think there's a simple way to remember how the Chinese way to describe Huge numbers: No need to say numbers under 100, just notice that you English speakers do as make a higher grade with three zeros, such as: 1 thousand=1000, 1 million= 1000,000 But in Chinese, we use four zeros to make a further grade, such as: 1万=100*100=10,000; 10万=1000*100=100,000; 100万=100*1万=1,000,000; 1千万=1000*1万=10,000,000 :) isn't it very easy :)

first you can pron: 012345678910----that 1unit(个) then 10s(十),100s(百),1000s(千),10000s(万), then your know 100000s(十万),1000000s(百万),10000000s(千万),100000000s(亿)。 so if you can pron 012345678910 and 十百千万亿,you can pron all the numbers in Chinese. e.g.11 =10+1pron the num direct 10、1;(no and)12 13 14...19 the same way 20=2×10pron2、10 (no ×);21=20+1pron20、1....... 30=3×10pron3、10;40 50 60 ...90the same way,200=2×100pron 2、100,so you will know how to pron300,2000,5000 ... and the next attention 101pron 100、0、1 2045pron2000、0、45 when “0”in the middle ,it should be read“0”
