Sound

The pinyin is Lán Wēi. Say it slowly, then at normal speed. If a tone feels difficult, practice the syllable alone before putting the full name together. A Chinese speaker will usually understand an imperfect tone in context, but the closer you get, the more natural the name feels.

How to introduce it

“My Chinese name is 兰薇. 兰 — orchid; 薇 — fern, rose.”
