My First Mandarin Sentences...
Nǐ hǎo （你好）
Wǒ jiào Zakimi (我叫Zakimi）
Nǐ jiào shénma? （你叫什麽？）
Nǐ shuō yingwén ma? （你说英文吗？）
Zàijiàn (再见)
This is what I think I said:
Hello
My name is Zakimi
What is your name?
Do you speak English?
Goodbye
I didn't know how to say Zakimi in Mandarin, so I just spelled it out as I would in English. The Japanese spelling for it is 座喜味, but I'm sure it's completely different in Mandarin. If anyone could let me know how I did, and what I need to fix, please let me know.
Xièxie (谢谢)

If anyone could let me know how I did, and what I need to fix, please let me know. ** for your name, I'd say the closest one could go would probably be Jia1qi2mi3 as for the exact words for translation Im not really sure how that works

你好! Honestly, I just picked it up again yesterday after a year of break. I speak Japanese, and English so I wanted to add to my repertiore of languages. I lived in the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa), and our traditions are more similar to that of the Chinese culture than Japanese. I have always had a fasination with Chinese culture. I figured since I want to learn a new language Chinese would be a good place to start.

Xièxiè Joe！
So Zakimi would be 扎西米? Do you pronounce it just as it sounds or is their a different pronunciation to it? What is the difference between Nǐ huì shuō yīngwén ma and Nǐ shuō yingwén ma?
