Mr. Zwingel:

We are wondering which, if any,
other languages are commonly studied in the schools there? Also what are the average temps there for this time of the year?

Thanks! Mrs. Olsen and Spanish amigos!!!

Mr. Z

Looks like you have a busy schedule this week.

I am curious as to what the school day hours are for the high school students in Japan. Also wondering how many days of school do they attend in a year?

Ohayo gozaimasu Spanish Class,
The only language taught in this school is english. It is very basic and most students do not understand me when I talk. They say, "Good Morning", "Hello", and "Thank You" and that is about it. I need to catch myself when I say "Hi" because it sounds like "hai" which means "yes".

The average temperature in Japan is 17 degrees C.
