"Kon'nichiwa." (KO-nee-chee-wa)(hello)."Watashinonamaeha"
(wa-TAshi-nonah-MAY-ha)(my name is). "Gabe" He was doing his Japan
greeting. I was using his iPad to videotape him. "My favorite subject
is... I plan to protect the environment by... Arigatogosymas!
(ARe-gahto-go-SY-maas)(bye). Believe me, it was not perfect the first
time Gabe tried. Next up, me! Mine wasn't very good the first time
either. Or the second time. Or the third. Or fourth. But the fifth was
better. In Japaneese, I said hello, my name is Alex, My favorite subject
is gym, my favorite sport is soccer, and, my favorite food is
spaghetti. Then, Ellie went over to the wall and did her greeting. It
took so many tries, I'm not even gonna try to count them right now. At
the beginning of the videos, she kept crossing her eyes as she took a
deep breath to speak and we all ruined the video by laughing. Almost
every time. I nearly peed my pants. So when she got it right, she went
through the same script as everyone else but changed it up when she got
to her picture and her favorite things.
