Have you heard a cat purr before? It’s a soft, gentle sound, almost like a tiny motor. Cats purr when they are happy and relaxed. If a cat sits on your lap and purrs, it probably feels safe and cozy.

But did you know cats can also purr when they are scared or not feeling well? It’s their way of calming themselves. Some scientists think purring helps cats heal their bodies!

If you meet a friendly cat, listen carefully. That little purr is the cat’s way of saying, “I like being here with you.”

ヌックミアは、ベトナムで非常に人気のある飲み物で、特に暑い時期に道端の屋台でよく売られています。目の前でサトウキビを圧搾して作られ、キンカンやレモングラスなどで風味づけされることもあります。Youtuberの人がおいしい、おいしいと飲んでいたので頼んでみました。1分くらいでその場でサトウキビを機械に入れて、生ジュースで飲みました。１２０円くらいでした。

Hey y’all! 

Have y’all ever been kayaking? Have you ever done it in the ocean? Well we did on Sado Island! It had been a long time since I had done it but I got the hang of it again pretty quickly. We did flip twice though which was super nice since it was pretty hot out on the water. 10 out of 10 would do it again. 

see y’all in class! 

Kia ora and hello everyone!

A few weeks ago, I went to Osaka for my birthday!

It was my first time visiting the city and it was so much fun! Despite the intense heat, I enjoyed it so much and did lots of fun tourist activities. So many great places to go shopping too!

Have you been to Osaka?

ハローズの夏休みが終わり、今週から通常授業が再開しました。

特に外国人講師との英会話クラスで「どこに行ったのか」「何をしたのか」を話す機会が多くあり、うまく伝えきれない…という子がいるようです。

頭に浮かんだ日本語をダイレクトに英語にしようとせず、小さな子に話しかける時のような易しい日本語に変えてからそれを英語にすることが大切です。

最初は時間がかかりますが、慣れるとコミュニケーションがさらに楽しくなりますよ(^^)/
