Drill: Names and Introductions
Give your name and surname, ask other people's (politely to older people), and say "nice to meet you," from single gaps to a whole first exchange.
What this drill practises
Twelve items on 叫, 姓, 什么 and 认识你很高兴: two gaps, a listening item, then nine sentences to say in Chinese, ending with a full introduction and question.
Tip: 叫 takes the full name (我叫陈静), 姓 only the surname (我姓陈), and neither needs 是. To ask, put 什么 where the name will go: 他叫什么名字？
