Tips

culture
Multiple bearers under one transliteration: (1) 法罗群岛 (Fǎluó Qúndǎo) — the Faroe Islands, an autonomous territory of Denmark in the North Atlantic; (2) Faro, the resort capital of Portugal's Algarve region; (3) the surname Farrow (actress Mia Farrow is ·法罗 Mǐyà Fǎluó). Don't confuse with 法老 (fǎlǎo) "pharaoh" — different second character ( vs ).
memory
(fǎ) ≈ "fa" (also the standard character for "France" 法国), (luó) ≈ "ro/rrow." is the workhorse for any "ro/lo/rol" sound in foreign words (罗马 Rome, 罗密欧 Romeo, 保罗 Paul).
