A Baby Club Thank You

Here is a beautiful picture of a thank you card that my baby club babies and moms gave me on the last day of the semester. It was a class of 10 babies and their moms. Out of those 10, I had 8 leaving. I nearly cried at the end of the last 30 minutes of our last class together. Before this job, I had never interacted with babies in such a capacity. I’m so thankful I have the opportunity to now. This babyclub class was my first one. I’ve been teaching it every week since June. I have grown so fond of these babies and their moms. I always had so much fun with them, and it was such an incredible thing to see how they grew in such a short amount of time, both physically and in their speaking abilities. I truly love all of them and I’ll never forget this class. Keep exploring the world, children!

Packing Up Winter

Hi everyone!

It seems like true spring weather is finally upon us, and that means it’s time to pack away my winter clothes again. It’s amazing how much space winter clothes takes up in your closet; it makes sense though with all that extra fabric to keep you warm. It feels good to have more space though, and I’m really looking forward to busting out my more breezy summer clothes.
It’s really fun to go through seasonal clothing because sometimes you forget about certain outfits and fall in love with them all over again. It’s also nice to put away the heavy bedding and have a more open room. In fact, I kept the windows open all morning to let the fresh breeze in. It won’t be long now until winter is fully done for the year.

Do you have a favorite spring outfit?

Another study group



The Ohashi Library has a study group with some natives. Most of the time when I study with foreigners they are Canadian or American. It was refreshing to study with new people, but also to study with people who couldn't speak English. Indonesians, Vietnamese, a Serbian, and 1 American trying to talk through the one language we're all studying: Japanese.

They're using the Minna no nihongo book to study if you wanna come by.
