How to say hello everybody this is your Mandarin Chinese teacher in Chinese

We say: dà jià hǎo wǒ shì dà wèi nǐ mén zhōng wén lǎo shī (大家好我是大卫你们中文老师). Dà jià means everybody and literally means “big family”. Zhōng wén (中文) is one of several ways to describe Chinese. The first character zhong means “central” or China (eg, Middle/central Kindom). Lǎo shī (老师) is teacher. Actually Lǎo shī is considered an honorable title in China. So, I don’t know if I’m worthy enough of being called Lǎo shī.

Make sure you get the tones right: first tone on gao and fourth tone on xing. The “X” sounds like “sh”. Rèn shì means to know or to be acquainted with somebody. It does NOT mean to know something.
