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(^^)/

The next day of my trip took me to Takamatsu. Like Matsuyama, I didn’t know much about the city before going but was surprised by how big it was. There was a lot to do. I visisted the castle ruins, went to an observation deck to see the whole city from the sky, and even went to an art museum that was in the middle of a huge shopping street. I also happened to be in the city during a festival so I got to go and enjoy that, too! Of course, I was in Kagawa Prefecture, so I had to eat udon. It was delicious!

8月19日はバイクの日です。

行楽地に行くとかっこいいバイクをたくさん見ます。

そのカッコよさ、乗るときもちいいよね～と憧れの気持ちで通り過ぎることしばしば。

ミニバイクでもスピード感が楽しいので、これから涼しくなるといろいろなところに出かけたくなりますよね。

アジアの国ではバイクの数がとても多くジャケットを反対にきて風を逃して走る光景を面白いなとみていました。

夏にやり残したことをやってくださいね、お盆過ぎると少し夏が終わっていくのがさみしいいです。
