Sound
The pinyin is Ruò Zhú. 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 若竹. 若 — like, as if; 竹 — bamboo.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李若竹 (Lǐ Ruò Zhú), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
