One interesting thing about studying Chinese:
The Romanized form of Mandarin, called "pinyin", is not always phonetically similar to English pronunciation. For instance, the city Shang Hai is always pronounced incorrectly in English (click on the link to hear correct pronunciation). We have found that most people, when pronouncing the city in which we live, rhyme "shang" with "chang". For us this mispronunciation sounds pretty funny.
