1 Answer
The first sentence should be..
"I visit my hometown about two or three times a year"
While in the second sentence maybe grammatically incorrect
It should be "I visit my hometown twice or thrice a year

1It's more logical to say 'two or three times', but I can imagine someone starting to say 'twice', thinking to themselves 'Perhaps it's more often than that' and adding '...or three times.' Commented Apr 6, 2020 at 13:55
