Laoshi Hao. Thanks for all the help these last few weeks – xie xie ni!

I recently bought a pack of cards which have Chinese phrases on them, so now I can learn Chinese while playing cards – but I have a few questions about cards -
How do I say:
Club?
Spade?
Heart?
Diamond?
Ace?
King?
Queen?
Jack?

What is the ‘ten of hearts’? Is it ‘shi de xin’ ?

Thanks so much

Hi Dr Amore,

Club = méi huā 梅花
Spade = Hēi táo 黑桃
Heart = hóng xīn 红心
Diamond = fāng kuài 方块

Ace = Ace
King = lǎo K
Queen = pí dàn
Jack = gōu/ qié gōu

These are just standard way of saying poker words.
