My name
Most English speakers have much difficulty spelling or pronouncing my name!
On request, here is a brief explanation that may help:
I was born and raised as a peasant in a tiny
village in Greece. Like many
other peasants I had to emigrate and I have been in Australia since 1970.
My full name is Anastasios Tzioumis and the Greek
abbreviation of my first name is Tasso.
(Well, sometimes it is Tassos but you need a lesson in
Greek grammar to unravel that).
The complex spelling of my surname results from the absence of the letters
j and u in the Greek alphabet. The sound of
j is produced by the combination tzi and the sound of
u by the diphthong ou. So, Tzioumis
phonetically becomes Jumis, which should be easy to pronounce.
(Simple, isn't it?)
