Learning Chinese II

Brett and I have been trying to get in a half hour of chinese each night after the kids go to sleep. We've been using the BBC languages to get some pronunciation action. It's been pretty useful.

So numbers 1-10
1 yi (like ee)


2 er (like urr)


3 san (like sahn)


4 si (like suh)


5 wu (like woo)


6 liu (like leo)


7 qi (like chee)


8 ba (like bah)


9 jiu (like jeo)


10 shi (like shr)




Useful sentences
你会说英文吗？Nǐ huì shuō yīngwén ma? Do you speak english?
我叫 ... wǒ jiào ... I am called/my name is ...

That's enough for now.
