Please practice the below pronunciations. These are commonly used sounds at the end of a pinyin.
an ong en ian uan
ang eng in uen
iang uang
ing ueng
iong
In asking someone their name we use the verb "jiao" 叫 which means to be called. We do not use the verb to be, which would translate into, "What is your name?" Instead the translation is more like, "What are you called?"
你叫什么名字？ Ni3 jiao4 shen2 me ming2 zi?
The reply would then be:
我叫Mr. Selbo.
Words that we discussed in order to make sense of this simple dialogue were:
Thank you. 谢谢。 xie4 xie
You're welcome. 不客气 bu2 ke4 qi
What 什么 shen2 me
name 名字 ming2 zi
to call 叫 jiao4
够了吧，课里我们也学了“老师说”。。。
