Parents, are, amazingly "mama" and "baba" (very similar to mama and papa!)
Paternal grandparents: "nye-nye" (grandmother) and "yeh-yeh" (grandfather). Maternal grandmother is "why-po".
Younger sister is "may-may".
"dee-dee" I believe is younger brother and "guh-guh" is older male cousin, I think. I may have those 2 mixed up. But it's late and I don't feel like looking for the book. I've written the terms phonetically to give the closest American pronunciation.

If you want to learn Mandarin but you have no clue in which to commence then a program for Mandarin is the greatest online program for the novices since it genuinely begins with the basis.
