Hello, I am a student doing a study abroad in Japan and I have been learning Japanese for nearly a year now, so unfortunately I don't even know if I'd consider myself conversational yet. I also am not super familiar with Japanese culture. How should I address my host parents? For example, would I use Last Name-san, First Name-san, or just use okaasan or otoosan (sorry I haven't quite figured out how to type in Japanese on my phone yet). Or even better, how can I ask them "how would you like me to address you" or "what name would you like for me to call you?"
Their kids are quite young so I know I can use their first name and -kun/-chan, but I am not sure about the parents.
