6. Please record the following, using Voice E-mail.  こんにちは、（Your name)です.　おひさしぶりです　(or はじめまして　if you have never taken my course before.).　ことしも　よろしくおねがいします。

Please use Voice E-mail on the Homepage to record assignments.  But for some reason, it does not work, you can try Audacity and save an audio file, export it as MP3.  If you are making MP3 for the fist time with Audacity, it will ask for  "Lame file" (necessary to covert it to MP3).  You can google it and download from some other sites to keep it in your computer for the future use, or it is also available in the homework submission file on the desktop in the computers at FLRC (Leutze Hall 253).  It will ask you to do this only once.    After you convert/export it as MP3, you can send it via course Mail as an attachment.  If you save the file as WAV, it will take about 20 - 30 minutes to attach it.

If you record in the FLRC, use Voice E-mail.

You can save the recording in "JPN202" file under "Homework Submission" file on the desktop at FLRC, in this case, please notify me that you saved it on the FLRC Homework Submission file.
