Notes

• Nà shì shéi? - shéi? is a question word. Pay attention to the position of the question word. It is not placed at the beginning of a sentence. So the direct translation is 'He is who?'
• Tā shì nǎ guó rén? - nǎ is another question word. The direct translation is 'He is which country person?'
• Zhōngguó rén - a Chinese person.  An American would be Měiguó rén.
• Hànyǔ - the Chinese language. The biggest nationality in China is Han. The language that the Han people speak is Hànyǔ.
