How do I say "I am the eldest."? Also, I have two younger brothers and two younger sisters. (The order is Me, brother, sister, brother, sister) Is the term for "little brother" ok for both my brothers (so can I say: 2 little brothers?) or is it different based on their order? Same question for my sisters.

Thanks a lot!

Hi guys, i just started listening to ChinesePod a few days ago (to learn Mandarin in preparation for my move to Shenzhen in March). When I visited SZ last November, the questions always posed to me were (1) Where are you from? How do I say "I am from the Philippines."? (2) What is your job? How do I say "I am an English teacher."? In relation to that, they'd probably ask, for children or for adults. How do I say "I teach both children and adults."?

Thank you loads in advance!
