Pronouncing E-mail addresses

    When we want to tell someone our e-mail address, what do we say? Let's have another look at a typical Aso student's e-mail address:

    985555@asojuku.ac.jp

    Here's how we say each part:
    • If there are words in the address, you can say the words. If not, you spell them. For numbers, you read each number separately.
      • asojuku = say "Aso Juku"
      • ac = say "A, C"
      • 985555 = say "nine, eight, five, five, five, five"
    • @ means "at". Say "at"
    • The "." is a period. Say "dot".


    So, for 985555@asojuku.ac.jp
    say 9, 8, 5, 5, 5, 5 at Aso Juku dot A, C dot J, P
