Hi Glen. Yes, you can say Nǐ hǎo Junsong if you're already know each other and have some sort of close relationship with him. Otherwise, just Nǐ hǎo or Nǐ hǎo ma will do good. Likewise, Zǎoshang hǎo! (Good morning) will work well too. Hope you make great progress using Fluenz! Zàijiàn!

Thanks Leo, that helps, oh and BTW Junsong is a girl. Your responce brings another question to mind. How do you get the tone marks to show up when you type?

You're welcome Glen. Oh I didn't realize it, I'm not good at Chinese names yet. In order to get the marks, I use a trick hehe, I go to http://translate.google.com/#zh-CN|en|, write the Chinese characters and below it'll show the transliteration in Pīnyīn, so I copy it and paste it here. I found two sites that can be helpful: http://www.chinese-tools.com/tools/co... and http://www.chinese-tools.com/tools/co.... The first will convert Pīnyīn, like zhe3 into zhě. The second one will have the vowels with all the possible tones so that you can add them up while you're writing. Hope this helps!
