Reading E-Mail Addresses

Here is an example of an e-mail address of an Aso student.

985555@asojuku.ac.jp

Here are what the parts mean:

jp	This person is in Japan.
ac	"ac" means "academic". This person is at a school.
asojuku	This is the name of the main computer. Aso Juku is our computer's name.
985555	This is the user name. Your e-mail address will have a different user name.

Teachers at Aso have their real names in their e-mail addresses. My address is bill@asojuku.ac.jp

Your E-mail Address

Write it here: _________@asojuku.ac.jp

(your user name)

Saying An E-mail Address

• If there are words in the address, you can say the words. If not, you spell them.
  • asojuku = say "Aso Juku"
  • ac = say "A, C"
• @ 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
