  1. Hello. Everyone going to up?
  2. That means hello in Japanese.
  3. That's one of the many phrases I plan on teaching
  4. you this semester.
  5. And I just want to start off this video by
  6. saying welcome.
  7. And I look forward to teaching you today.
  8. My name is Mrs Cortez.
  9. You may also call me Cortes and say that means
  10. teacher in Japanese.
  11. And if you're wondering why I put seven B next
  12. to my name there, that is because I am part
  13. of the Island Warriors team.
  14. However, I teach all teams of in a bad cold
  15. rose seven b.
  16. I mean, warriors at 70 Double 07 So it doesn't
  17. matter what team you're in.
  18. I am going to be your elective teacher for this
  19. semester and you're probably wondering, Is there other electives offered
  20. for the online learning model?
  21. There are only two types of electives offered for you
  22. that would be my class Japanese or acquire with Mr
  23. Cabrera. And so we'll be switching off after our 2/4
  24. are up.
  25. So hopefully we make the most of our 2/4.
  26. I look forward to it until to make the most
  27. of out of our class time together which is also
  28. very limited.
  29. We're going to do our best to do some online
  30. activities. We're going to try our best to do some
  31. videos, and I do have a couple of tricks up
  32. my sleeve when it comes to learning at home.
  33. I'm hoping that you have a device at home that
  34. can record video or audio and that we can submit
  35. that to me.
  36. So in that way I can know if your pronunciation
  37. is current and if you're able to do some tasks.
  38. But of course, every situation is different, but we're gonna
  39. see and kind of gauge it from there.
  40. And I'm here to be flexible and open to some
  41. other alternatives.
  42. If that's not an option for you now, I do
  43. want to actually have a video conference day.
  44. Our goal is to try and meet at the most
  45. twice a week, and I That may not be the
  46. case of my even be once, hopefully not once every
  47. two weeks, but my goal is to meet with all
  48. of you at least once a week.
  49. In that way, I get to hear your beautiful voices
  50. and hopefully we can have a many conversation in Japanese.
  51. Who knows?
  52. I might be part of our final projects.
  53. We're gonna be open to new ideas as well as
  54. being open to finding places we can improve in.
  55. This is a very different school year at it's gonna
  56. be taking us by, you know, surprised by many ways.
  57. But we're gonna be open to trying new things.
  58. And of course, we're gonna live and learn.
  59. So don't worry if you're just as losses, you know,
  60. many of us are.
  61. We're gonna do this together and we're in this together,
  62. and we're going to be learning at a pace which
  63. is comfortable for all of us.
  64. Now, when it comes to my class, what we're gonna
  65. be doing is to be learning not only some language
  66. phrases that will be helpful for you if you ever
  67. go into the tourism industry or even learn Japanese in
  68. the high school level, but also some cultural things I
  69. would love to share with you being in the island
  70. of Guam.
  71. We have plenty of things that are influenced by the
  72. Japanese culture.
  73. You may not know that, and that's why I'm here
  74. to make your eyes open.
  75. Seeing that a lot of things that we're so used
  76. to actually are influenced by many other cultures, including the
  77. Japanese culture you're probably wondering.
  78. And my Japanese Whoa, I want you to ask that
  79. question in your first assignment.
