Tips

memory
Sound-out: (xiù) → 'Sho-/Shu-' (the closest Mandarin gets to the English 'sh' sound), (kè) → '-ck/-k.' This is a flexible transliteration: the second character ('to overcome') is the all-purpose ending for foreign names ending in '-k' (think 杰克 Jack, 麦克 Mike). 秀克 is uncommon and most often appears as a minor character name in translated fiction or game subtitles.
