Name suffix -san
The name suffix "san" can be used after first names or family names to represent "Mr.," "Miss" or "Mrs." It is very important to not use it for your own name! Notice in the dialog that Carlos uses "san" for greeting Mr. Tanaka, and Aiko does not introduce herself using "san."

Taishite & Totte http://www014.upp.so....../03sep.htm
"nitaishite" functions like a particle to mean for, to, toward or against and it marks the object. It can be replaced by a particle "ni",but it is used mainly in written language. By using "nitaishite" instead of "ni", the object is stressed more.

The dictionary form of a volitional verb should be used before gtame(ni) and a negative-form(nai-form) of a verb seldom before it. Subject of a sentence and the actor of a verb before gtame(ni)h are usually the same.
