How can I change the default language to English?

Hello! I’m in Japan and I’m just trying out to make a website and blog. My default language is Japanese when I got into WordPress.com. How can I change the language to English?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can set a single interface language for your blog on this page > Dashboard > Settings > General

Thanks for your response Timethief. I was doing trial and error comparing my Japanese menu with that of an English version in Youtube but had a difficult time probably due to different versions of WordPress in my Ipad with that in my PC. Finally I got where I wanted, thanks again for your help.

The tutorials on youtube are not for WordPress.COM blogs. They apply only to WordPress.ORG installs. WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support forums. Read the differences here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the step by step Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/
See also the “Video Quick Start” tutorial http://en.support.wordpress.com/video-quick-start/
The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.

You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account and the exact same associated email address that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.
You can set a single interface language for your blog on this page > Dashboard > Settings > General
scroll down to: Language
Do not forget to click save changes when you are done. -
