■Danii’s Message (Part 2)

I’ve always said that I hoped we could improve together, both learning Japanese and English, and I still wish that even now. I will continue to study Japanese, so I hope you all will continue to enjoy learning English.

You all gave me so much energy, and made me so happy. We shared jokes, stories, and I enjoyed getting to know all of you, as well as Japan. I’ve enjoyed learning about the culture, history, and people here, and will take everything I’ve learned with me when I return to America.

To be continued.

Good-bye, Danii！（第４話）

■Danii’s Message (Part 1)

Thank you to everyone who made my last day at Seijo with all of you special. I am very sad to leave, but I’m glad to have met all of you. The memories I made here with you all I will remember forever!

I had a lot of firsts here. It was my first time overseas, first time living by myself, and first time teaching. I remember being so nervous my first day, but students quickly came up to greet me, and made me feel so welcome as soon as I arrived, and my worries went away.

To be continued.

Good-bye, Danii！（第３話）

■A Texas Summer (part 2)

How do Texans keep cool during the summer? Here are a few ways. First, indoor entertainment. Going to places such as indoor arcades, ice skating, and shopping malls let us have fun while staying cool.

Another way we stay cool is ice cream! We have a lot of ice cream and frozen yogurt shops to choose from. They let you put several toppings such as cookies, candy, and mochi, and some even have drive-thrus so you don’t have to get out of your car.

Lastly, and maybe most importantly, to stay cool during the summer, we like to go swimming! Many people either have their own pools, or will go to indoor or outdoor water parks with their friends and family. It’s important to stay cool in the summer, so these are just a few ways we do so, to have a safe and fun time.

自宅のプールで過ごすなんて、まさにアメリカ！

Good-bye, Danii！（第２話）

■A Texas Summer (part 1)

When people hear Texas, the first thing they think is it’s hot. It is true, Texas does get hot, but not all the time. Like most states, it is icy in the winter, cool in the fall, and rainy in the spring, with the occasional tornado.

However, during the summer, it’s normal to see temperatures reach anywhere from 38-45°C! Therefore, we have to be careful and try to stay cool and hydrated. So, how do Texans keep cool during the summer?

■Exploring Japan.

Some people are unaware that Japan is the first country I’ve ever visited. It is also the place I’ve wanted to go since I was a child. Many people ask me “Why did you decide to go to Japan?” To answer that question, I can’t say I ever had a particular reason, but over time, I became more and more interested in Japan.

In my home country in America, I would eat Japanese food, attend cultural festivals, and even began to try to self teach myself a few words and phrases in Japanese. I often saw travel videos of people visiting Japan, and felt I HAD to go and experience it myself!

I really wanted to make friends in Japan, experience the culture, and learn the language because I always thought it was beautiful. I still have a lot of language learning to do, but the experiences I’ve had in Japan, and people I’ve met are unforgettable, and I hope to have more wonderful memories in the future!

憧れの日本ですばらしい思い出をつくられ、本当によかったですね。
