Why on earth are they using "yuan" when spoken is "kuai"? (Also, why are they not letting "yuan" also mean "dollar" seeing as it's used that way pretty frequently, i.e. mei yuan, ou yuan, jia na da yuan, etc. etc.)
Yuan used in a formal situation. While Kuai is often used while you're buying things at markets around you.
China uses Yuan, and we say yuan even in English, because out of the years I've been to china no one says Dollar because we don't use dollars we use Yuan.

Me, too, & there's no option under "Report" that says, "Hey, I should've gotten this wrong"
Support team are you listening?? why on the numbers course when i select an option the number doesnt appear afterwards?? for example you show me 八 or you say it and i have to select wich one is it,ok i know ba is 八 but what does it matter if i dont know that it represents number 8?? if it was shown afterwards it would be a lot more helpfull.
Thanks
The 'shi' means ten in english. Unless you want the answer to be 5 yuan then you need to add the 'shi'.
Does anyone have any tips for pronouncing/hearing the different tones? Is there a site you recommend that can help me with this? I'm very bad at hearing tonal differences, and I can only assume I'm not very good at pronouncing them myself.
They arent teaching me, they are just giving me the same question over and over again until I get it right.

“元” doesn't really specify what currency does it use. Currencies with dollars is also translated as “元”.
No it's not, if you already know some and you have native relatives who speak with you every time they see you!!! ; )
Why does it even say "yuan" when we're meant to type english? ?_? It should say dollars of something other than yuan
