[quote=DOUTIN ,10497]haha CONNY,i'm not learning chinese from my students' names. i have two chinese teachers for this. i don't like writing, so memorizing caracters is probably when i hit the 90's.. :))i always write their names in pinyin [pronunciation] if they don't have an "english" one. how many foreigners can write chinese, so i'm not supposed to do it as well. only for the administration i have to know their chinese names, but i can always ask the monitor to do this for me, and i just write the grades. who cares the names, they all have a number..对吧?recently, when i pronounce their names in chinese they enjoy it ;-)actually, who cares if it's a foreign, sorry, english or chinese name. they chose it, i never do this. if they like it that's ok. but when they pick names like Kitty, and it's a boy who's supposed to become a seaman..let's be more precise, a captain..or Brooky, as one of my friends [sounds like spooky]. another one calls himself Ben because he thinks he's "so stupid" [pronunciation "ben" in chinese means stupid, he said].. don't want to mention the worst ones..."english names"?!...mama mia...[/quote]
