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 Hi. Great site, you really make learning vocab easy.

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.:cry: Hi Victor & Amber,

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.:razz: @MuLan，

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！ 您好！ 我叫木兰。 很高兴认识你。 :smile:
