Sound

The pinyin is Yán Wàng. 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 言望. 言 — words, speech; 望 — to look toward, hope.”

A common full-name pattern would be 李言望 (Lǐ Yán Wàng), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
