What is SAN さん in Japanese? - How about KUN くん & CHAN ちゃん?

What is SAN さん in Japanese? It is one of the most common questions from students who started to learn Japanese. In this lesson, I explain how Japanese people address each other by adding different titles to the person's name and why we do it. In the culture, calling others by the name alone is considered to be rude. Be sure you address others with an appropriate title for that person. Happy learning!
