你好。我叫Adam。
I can write 我，but I don’t know how write special letter pinyin (ǒ,ǎ,ǚ) from keyboard. 🙁
This was my first “hands on” lesson! Thanks a lot for this wonderful course. The only point of attention was installing Baidu Input on blind flight, as the page is only in mandarin, as far as I could see.
你好。
我姓瓦尔特子 (Walters)。
我叫布莱恩 (Bryan)。

Xie Xie LiLi. Thank you for creating this course to help us learn Mandarin. I appreciate how your lessons are organized and easy to follow.
谢谢你 Donald, we’re so glad you like our Chinese course, we wish you the best of luck learning Chinese!
How can I get practice sheet for my practice writing Chinese characters? Without practice writing it is very difficult and takes so much time and effort to make characters look like original…
Professionally done, and very clear. One question – are there any practice sheet available to practice writing the characters 我，叫，姓，你，好？
It’s really a great idea to include the Chinese character writing sheets and we’re already thinking about adding them. We’ll send notifications once they’re ready!
…but what do xing and hao have to do with being female? Would it change if a male is speaking?
Thanks for the question! The characters do not change. Both 姓 and 好 had something to do with “女 female” when they were created thousands of years ago but now their most common meaning aren’t related to “female”.
This course is very helpful。I was studying by myself before.
Thank you so much for this nice comment! Wish you the best of luck learning Chinese!
