エッセイでもコラムでも随筆でもなく、ミセラニーです。

Meryy Christmas

 クリスマスカードに着ける文案ができたので、上梓しておく。この上梓が使えるのだろうか。原典は、ウインドウズ・ワードとして保管してある。ここには思うような型式では載せられないのが残念である。



December , 2009

Dear ,


I hope you have had happy holidays for Christmas season this year.


One year and eight months has passed already after my retirement of Ibaraki University, School of Agriculture. I enjoyed a retired life.


March 27, 2009 I obtained the Certification that I successfully completed the requirements of the Japanese Teacher's Course of Sendagaya Japanese Institute and mastered the theory and techniques required to teach Japanese. In short, I am a Japanese language teacher to foreigners, now.


Then I take part in "the Lecture on How to promote International Exchange" under the sponsorship of Ibaraki Prefectural Office. I want to teach Japanese to foreigners as a volunteer. In the lecture, I learned that the ability using Japanese of foreigners depended on how to learn it.


I knew that to teach Japanese not using mediation language was best. Foreigners learned by that way are good at Japanese mostly.

The Lecture will be over next February. After that I will try to contact some foreigners in Ibaraki Prefecture.


My wife is in activity. She visited north Italy and Switzerland to sketch scenery by a group excursion this year. She has been learning a painting with colored pencils. Her group sometimes holds an exhibition and she shows her works in it. Therefore, she is very busy, always.


My best wishes for good health, success and happiness to you and your family.


Sincerely yours,
