  1. Let's get this started!
    Which culture do I connect with? Easy! The one I grew up with: NZ European culture.
    I often hear from people that NZ Europeans don't have a culture. Not true! We in NZ have our own kinds of food, music, fashion, and ways of "being" in society. It's also not just English culture, but our own unique take on life in the Antipodes.
    In NZ, we say "Hello" by saying... "Hello", or "G'day", or "Kia ora", or "How's it?" as well as many other ways.
    As far as languages to learn: I am interested in German because it has a unique sound. But I would also like to master Te Reo Maori and... Javascript (a computer code).
    How about you?

    1. Thanks, Jasmine. Latin is an interesting choice because it is only really used in places like churches for prayers and rituals. However, many languages have Latin root words, so it might make learning other languages a bit easier!

  7. Hi Mr Greenfield, I am part British because my dad is from England but I was born in NZ. Pretty obvious how you say hello in England, "Hello". I would like to learn Japanese, I already know how to say my name is William, I play cricket and soccer and I am 10 years old in Japanese. Blog you later!
