Haha, we do not have an alphabet as you do. What we use is called Chinese Characters and is composed of strokes. But we do have a Pinyin alphabet which has adapted to the form of your alphabet with only one letter different from yours(it's the one between u and w). I don't know whether my explanation is clear to you or not. How to say? Our Pinyin to characters is what your syllable to words. English words are composed of letters, while Chinese characters are composed of strokes, and 2 or 3 or more characters form a Chinese word. Difficult to explain. But if you really feel interested in it, I can try to teach you some words or sentences.
