My first text in Mandarin Chinese
你好！
我姓 Smith.
我叫 Jerome Smith.
我不是老师
我是学生
我不是 中国人
我是德国人
In pinyin:
Nǐ Hǎo!
Wǒ xìng Smith.
Wǒ jiào Jerome Smith
Wǒ bù shì lǎoshī
Wǒ shì xuésheng.
Wǒ bù shì zhōngguó rén.
Wǒ shì déguó rén.
But I have to warn you first. This is the absolutely first time that I ever wrote a chinese character...

Very nice text and characters.
Everything is perfect except this:
Wǒ bù bú shì lǎoshī
Wǒ bù bú shì Zhōngguó rén.
Wǒ shì Déguó rén.
1. The original tone of "不" is bù, but when "不" is followed by another fourth tone, it will change into the second tone as "bú"
2. The initial letter of a country's name should be capitalized.
Hope this will be helpful.
