I guess the difficulty you're having is pronouncing the "F" and "V" (since there is no V sound in 中文)? They are very similar because your mouth makes the same shape when saying file and vile. The difference is "f" is voiceless (air only) while "v" is voiced. Try saying "ah" and then place your teeth on your lips while doing so, it should make the V sound.
