LARGE NUMBERS
 Large numbers in English are difficult for many Koreans because in English, they change
names after every three numbers, whereas in Korean, it changes after every four.
 Always remember to change after hundreds.
 There will NEVER be a number such as a thousand million, or a thousand thousand.
 It is easier to just remember to count in groups of three.
