if your talking to a chinese, which might be the only time you'd have to say it in chinese, when you pronounce it, they'd probably try to understand it, if they don't, they'll ask you [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] so basically you don't have to tell them unless they ask

but if you show it to them, then they will most likely know what it means..
and well about the pronounciation,
you can find guides on how to pronounce,

well lemme see if i can explain it

"Qing Cheng Qing Guo"

that is the sentence you want

the pronounciation would be

Qing = Qi+eng = english pronounciation = Chi-(as in CHeese)+ ng (as in dung
Cheng = ch+eng = english prounounciation = Ch ( as in Children)+ng (as in dung
Qing look at the one above... i don't know the tone..so meh
Guo = g+wu+o = eng pronoun = g (as in gone)+ wu as in...woops + o like oh

i think that's the best you can do with text pronounciation, if you need audio, i think i might be able for that, but one problem i don't have a mic, but if you still need audio, send me an audio of your pronounciation, and if it's wrong...then i'll sned you..another

Lavvy, may I make a suggestion on getting the pronunciations?

If you've got an area like a "Chinatown" with restaurants and shops, why not go to one and see if anyone there can give you face-to-face assistance?

I know I've gotten into some very intriguing conversations with many Asians who own some of our local eateries and a few shops in the mall. They are always very polite and seem to LOVE explaining anything about their culture. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just an idea. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You pronounce it in Mandirin ( in any part of the world ). Only if you are in Hong Kong should you use Cantonese.
