Jia: Jah
Jiang: Jang or Jahng (not the English A-sound but more like the Spanish, French or German A-sound)
Jing: Is pronounced just like it was an English word "jing"
Li: Lee
Mei: May
Ming: Just like it was an English word
Xia: Something like "Cha" in Charles"You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."
(On Children by Kahlil Gibran)
