A few days ago, students wrote a poem in class.
Do you know "Senryu"? A "Senryu" is a short poem in which writers express their feelings in short sentences. The number of letters is fixed. The letters used in a "Senryu" are "5, 7, 5". It is okay to have one more letter, but if you read the words in "5, 7, 5", the rhythm feels just right.
Students wrote about what they see, hear, feel, and think…

Hello everyone.
In January, we had a lot of snow in Fukuoka.
Since Fukuoka is a warm region in Japan, it is rare to see snow even in winter. Since people are not used to snow, they often slipped and fell, and cars drove very slowly.
NILS has dormitories exclusively for current students.
The dormitory I visited this time is only for Nepalese female students, and everyone is having a good time w…

1月中旬、NILS Annex の2つのクラスの学生が「わたしの国について」の発表をしました。国がある場所や有名な観光スポット、有名な食べ物など、自分の国のいいところをまとめてほかのクラスの学生に教えました。ネパールの山々についてまとめているグループもありました。
発表を聞いた学生たちからは、「観光地を巡るのに、どのくらいお金がかかりますか。」や「そこに行くのにどのくらい時間がかかりますか。」「山にはいつ登るのがいいですか。」など、たくさんの質問が上がっていました。

皆さん年末年始はどんな風に過ごしましたか？日本語をたくさん話しましたか？初めてのブログで何を書こうかと考えあぐねていたのですが、結局今回は昨年（2022年）末にNILS Annex春日校で実施した陶芸体験について書くことにしました。
まず、なぜNILS Annex春日校で陶芸体験？ からです。ここ春日の地は歴史的に古くから人が住んでいます。そのためか窯元もあります。春日市は弥生の里なんです。春日市のキャラクターは「あすかちゃん」と「かすがくん」です。
そんなわけで学校から徒歩圏内に陶芸体験できるところがあります。今までの私の感覚では陶芸や窯元がある場所は「人が踏み入らないような山奥」だったのですが、こんなに近くに陶芸ができるところがあるなんて驚きです。でもみなさん、くれぐれも誤解しないでくださいね。学校がある場所は決して山奥ではありません。もちろん山のふもとでもありません。ご安心くださ…
