abcdefg Posted November 30, 2009 at 10:57 PM Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 at 10:57 PM On the phone I want to say: "Hello, this is Nathan." It's different from English. More like "Hello, I am Nathan." 你好，我是xxx. = nǐhǎo, wǒ shì xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
