so that you know who it is that you are dealing with and talking to and

coming to meet and zoom classes so my name is Joanne Moya but nobody nobody calls me Joanne at all

ever so you can just call me Joe it is very very normal here in New Zealand for

adult students to call their teachers by their first name so I'm Joe I've been teaching English language for

a very long time I first started to get interested in teaching English when I visited friends

and Thailand in my early twenties and I am now 52 years old can't believe

it don't know how that happened so yeah I've been teaching English for a long time

and I absolutely love it I started this particular project sisters speaking English in March 20 20 around

the time of our national lockdown and I've met some amazing women from all around the world it's

been absolutely life-changing for me and I hope for some of you to it's a really special place so

two adult sons Tommy and Luca who are 20 Tommy's 22 Lucas 20 yeah I live

here in New Zealand and the South Pacific where we are very very lucky to be in a very positive

situation compared to the rest of the world at the moment in terms of coronavirus so it's a beautiful

country maybe you can come and visit day it's wins what's the borders are all open it's a

beautiful place to be so I'll share with you some information about life here in New Zealand

and about our country so you can see what life is like here and I really hope that

you'll do the same we'd love to see where you're from what it's like to live

with you do trying to think of it as anything else I should tell you about me I'm

a very very keen musician I play the violin and sing in a band when

I was very young I studied classical music and I played in orchestras and string quartets and things like

that but these days I play in a band really good fun so I love that but feel free

to ask me any questions I'm a very open person you will get to know

that I am not at all like one of those glamorous people that you see on

Instagram and YouTube and those sorts of places I'm a very relaxed messy no makeup here's a mess

me I'm afraid but I do look forward to meeting all of you in a

zoom class whenever you can come and join us us we have one free zone class every week here
