Today's lesson revolves around the family. The Japanese have special words to address their own family and to address other people's family (as a sign of respect).
When addressing your own family, you use the following words:
1) My Father                         Chi Chi               ちち           
2) My Mother                        Ha Ha      はは
3) My Elder brother             Ani        あに  
4) My Elder sister                 Ane       あね
5) My Younger brother       Ototo      おとと
6) My Younger sister           Imoto      いもと
7) My Grandfather               Sofu       そふ
8) My Grandmother            Sobo       そぼ
When addressing other people's famiy:
1) Father                          Otousan       お父さん
2) Mother                        Okaasan       お母さん
3) Elder brother             Oniisan        お兄さん
4) Elder sister                 Oneesan       お姉さん
5) Younger brother       Otoutosan      弟さん
