Meeting penpals?

The Japanese language differs from the English language. The word order is Subject Object Verb. Although the wording sounds strange, it's easy to translate. Example:

Watashi wa ringo ga suki desu. (I/apple/like.)
In English, it's translated "I like apples."

Uuh..?

Using the peron's name first is very common in spoken Japanese. San, which is attached to the peron's last name, can be thought of as Mr./Miss/Mrs.

Like I said in the last reply, the Japanese lanauge greatly differs from the Englsh language because of the Subject Object Verb order (SOV) while English is Subject Verb Object (SVO.)

I recommend taking Japanese language classes to get a clearer understanding of language.

I very much realize that Japanese is NOT an European language.

I don't see how the grammar structure of Japanese has anything to do with switching around your western name.
