Today, our routine continued with our usual four hours of Japanese lessons. We spent the final hour of the school day preparing for the home visit tomorrow. All students will spend Saturday in pairs with a host family in the Osaka area. They will tour their homes, meet their families and have a traditional meal – all the while practicing the Japanese language skills they have been working on this week having to do with hobbies, families and self-introductions. Wish them luck!
This evening we travelled to Kobe, known for the catastrophic earthquake in 1995. Whilst in Kobe we ate Yaki-tori (grilled chicked) before visiting an arcade and singing Karaoke.
Thanks for all you comments. I’ll continue passing them on to the students.

If the host family are offering Takeshi a home cooked meal I hope they have plenty of it! Michiko has been so envious seeing all the pictures of the oishi gohan.
ReplyDeleteAh, more entertaining karaoke videos to watch?
ReplyDeleteBe bold on the home visit and make use of all that Japanese you have worked so hard to learn this week.
Really enjoying the blog - keep posting when you get the chance.
Walking a lot and using public transportations are good experience for you becasuse you always have excellent chauffeur whenever you need to go out at home.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day with your host families tomorrow.
