]]> <![CDATA[By: geromeaccount]]> is 二百五 really er2 bai3 wu3 instead of er4 bai3 wu3?

Shouldn't the 二 be fourth tone?

This is one of the Supplemental words. The pinyin next to the word says "er4 bai3 wu3" but the writing practice thing says it should be second tone.

Thanks very much for this lesson. You're so good for teaching us so usefull language! ;o) Why don't you make a series of "jianghua"? The chinese insults are really interesting and funny, most of the time very "visual". Just to complete our culture... As a candy after learning more serious lessons... It could be nice.

You are correct, the pronunciation for 二百五 is er4 bai3 wu3. Do you mean Skritter says 二 is second tone? Then there must be a mistake.
