# Remembering how to pronounce names

If you have trouble remembering how to pronounce someone's name, you can add a field to their card in Address Book and enter the phonetic spelling for the name in the field.

This feature is also useful when you are entering names that use characters different from those used in your own language. For example, if you use English on your computer, you can enter a Japanese name in Japanese characters, but also enter an English phonetic spelling. The name appears in the list in its original characters, but is sorted alphabetically by its English phonetic spelling.

1. Find the person's card, then choose Card > Add Field > Phonetic First/Last Name.
2. Above the first and last names, enter tips for pronouncing the names.
