Ni hao, Claudia Nai nai,

The first Sentence is perfect.

The second sentence should be: nǐ kě yi mǎi yí suǒ fáng zi, dàn shì nǐ mǎi bù liǎo yí ge jiā tíng.

To your grandson, you father is “zěng zhǔ fù”

May everything goes well for you

Benny

Maybe you are right, because i got سون جينغ from my friend Roland Parijs(tā shì hé lán rén).
Your chinese name is 李美英(LI Mei Ying) right?

Hi Phoebe! ni hao SUN JING! correct! my mandarin name is Li Mei Ying and the writing is right. But you must know I know only a few words in Chinese writing:I usually write by Pin Yin. On the contrary I am able to write and read Arabian language, but I am not very good speaking it ‘cause I rarely practise it. Anyway I prefer study Chinese and to learn speak Mandarin: much more easy to me. Arabian language has a very difficult and complicated grammar. Mandarin grammar is very simple like English grammar. When the grammar is easy you can learn to speak a language fastly. Sometimes I think directly in Mandarin before to speak ,on the contrary I can’t think in Arab!!well, have a nice week!
