大家好! 我叫Aaron。但是我还没有中文的名字。认识你们我很高兴。谢谢你们教我。
dàjiā hǎo. wǒ jiào Aaron. dànshì wǒ hái méi yǒu zhōngwén de míngzi. rènshi nǐmen wǒ hěn gāoxing. xièxie nǐmen jiào wǒ.
Here’s hoping that made sense.

Hi Psy,
Your Chinese is great. Your sentence is just about perfect. The only thing you don’t need is the 的 (de) in 中文名字 (Zhōngwén míngzi).
Great job!

您好! 我叫木兰。 很高兴认识你。
I also have a couple questions… When getting a Chinese name, does that include getting a surname as well?
Also, since the surname comes first, does that mean the middle name will come before the first name?
谢谢!

@MuLan,
We do have surname before the first name, like “李伟”,“王致和”. As to the middle name, we don’t usually have them. But many foreigners don’t get the chinese surname as it sounds closer when we just call their first name. Like“大山”. Like many chinese people, when they get a english name, they only get the name like “Lucy”"Joy” but not the full name.

Hi Victor & Amber,
I’ve just begun with the introductory lessons of ChineseClass101 and am finding it great to follow and very motivating. I’m encountering a couple of problems with the flash cards though. Some of them seem to be labelled back to front, so the English comes up when I ask for Traditional, and vice versa, which is not a huge problem. But with some of them the audio is not working at all, and that is more serious.

Hi Nathan,
Looks like I will have to answer you on behalf of Victor and Amber. I think they have left us. My name is Jane from Beijing and I am currently looking after this site.
Thanks a lot for your compliment and also the problem you pointed out. This is actually a known issue already and our tech team is working on it right now. Please be patient with us. I will certainly let you know as soon as the problem is solved. In the mean while, pleas enjoy other lessons.
Best,
Jane

Flashcards appear to have traditional rather than simplified Chinese characters. Is there a setting I need to change or anything?
Saturday at 2:34 pm
Hi George,
Thanks for the feedback on our new flashcard system, we really appreciate it. The system is currently in beta and this is one of the known bugs that we plan on addressing in the upcoming days. We hope you enjoy the new flashcards.
Thank you for your support and patience.

Hi. Great site, you really make learning vocab easy. I am going to China later in the year and hope to learn enough Chinese to get by without constantly pointing at a phrase book. Can you advise on some Chinese name I could use?
Thanks
Kieron

@Kieron,
Hi, welcome to the site! How about 克恩 (ke4en1)or 凯恩(kai3en1)?They are both translated from the pronunciation of your English name.
