I read that when a foreigner go to Japan, one of the first "problem" he has to meet is his first's name pronunciation. Of course this kind of thing don't only happen in Japan.
Sometimes it leads to some funny situations, and you have to take the habit, not to be called by the first name your parents gave you.
eg : The French first name Xavier is turned into something like Gusabieru
I wanted to know if other people on this forum had any other exemples, or lived things like that (quite funny thing i think).
By the way, I have never been to Japan, yet. I would be curious to know what it would be with my first name : Jean-Louis.
I have a little idea tough...
One more little thing : Can someone write my first name in Hiragana or Katagana if possible. Thanks in advance.
