Hello! It's nice to meet you! My name is Dana Nicole Dotson. Please call me Dana.

＊Today's English Point*

Please call me _____.

*Foreign names can be difficult for Japanese people. Japanese names can also be difficult for foreigners.

*Many Asian countries are like Japan: People say "My name is (family name, first name)." But many other countries are the opposite: People say "My name is (first name, family name)."

*"Please call me____." makes it easier to know which name to use.

----------------------------------------------------------

Other Tips:
When speaking to a non-Japanese speaker, you should say your name slowly and clearly. A slight pause between your family name and name can also be helpful and easier to understand.

See you again next week!!
