When you meet someone for the first time, how do you introduce yourself in Chinese? Chinese people believe that they should show respect when asking about others' names. How? Simply add a "心 (xīn) heart" under "你," to make "您 (Nín)" as an honorific form. That is, they show respect by placing "you" in their "hearts."

  • Is it just me or does it sound like she's trying to say French and France at the same time? "Frens" I would be at a dead stop here without the lyrics xD

  • @P0mpan Oh, thanks. I guess you are right. We will try put more attention on the pronunciation of English words. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

  • @pinyinhead easy! the "R" in chinese is not like the "R" in english

    Look "Ren" would be like: Shrek! that's it, like Shrek! but here you have to say: Shren!

    so the "R" in chinese is like "shrek" without the "k"

    fa guo ren = fa guo (shren) :P

  • zhou means "continent" so Africa is a continent it is called FEIZHOU(FAY-ZHO) is this correct teacher?

    Canada is "jiannada" (jee-ahn-nah-dah)

see all
