你好!我叫罗伯特! I can never remember if have the right characters for my name, ahah. I’m only sure about the 1st one.. and this time the 2nd one, too..
Let’s see if I remember from class last fall..
我是美国人,和我是高学生.我岁十六(?)。I love how Chinese has a meaning to go with most of the names (as far as I can tell) like how Mei Guo is Beautiful Kingdom, right?

Hi, your characters are all correct, perfect!

for the sentence "岁十六“, it should be "十六岁”. we put “suì” after numbers

“美国” does mean a beautiful kingdom and it’s very beautiful

Ah, okay, 谢谢!
Would you happen to know why many countries are not labeled as a ‘kingdom’? I noticed that many do not include 国 while watching the Olympics.
