The difficulty with the chinese names for me is the 'zh'... I bet most here would say it as it's spelt. However, in learning madarin (yes, I'm doing that slowly!), zh is more like 'ch' in western languages.... much like 'xia' is pronunced more like 'sha'... then add in the tones, and the family name before the given name...

Still, I'm having fun learning it, never really got into languages before!
