Please tell me how to pronounce this name: Guangxue
I owe a phone call to a customer of mine who is from the Far East. I'd like to make a good impression by pronouncing his name correctly. Anyone got a idea how to pronounce "Guangxue?"

6. Aww look how considerate you are.
My last name is a very common noun, and so often people misrpronounce it...

Kind of you to care.
