Hello,
tonight I am going to call an american person, that I met a while ago, for the first time (on the cell phone).
I suppose the first thing this person will say is simply: Hello.
My answer would be: Hi, this is Anna.
To make sure if it is the right person I am speaking to (and not a brother or a friend) could I ask
Is this John? (this would be my first choice)
or Is this John speaking?
or Am I speaking with/ to John?
I don’t want to sound formal. How would you do it in the United States?
Thank you for your help.
