日本伝統的な節を 勉強した！
昨日は私が天理教日本語学校で伝統的な節のクラスを全部終わった。
このクラスで楽しいことを分け合いたいんです！
伝統的な節のクラスは四つで、お月見とお正月とひな祭り夏祭りとを勉強した。
The Japanese traditional events course at Tenrikyo Mission Centre Singapore, ended yesterday. It was a most interesting and enjoyable course. Consisting of four lessons, I learnt about the activities surrounding five different Japanese festive events – Lantern Festival, New Year’s Day, Girls’ Festival, Boys’ Day Celebration and Summer Festival.
Here’s sharing with everyone some basic information that I have learnt.

僕の新しい日本語クラスが始めるよ！
来週の火曜日は僕の新しい日本語クラスが始めるひだ！ええ、楽しみにするよね！
Next Tuesday, I’m gonna start my new Japanese language class in a new school! So looking forward to it! Wonder who the sensei is and what he/she will be like! And the good thing is, my friends will be studying along with me! 良かったです！This new school is the Tenrikyo Mission Centre – Cultural Section. It was recommended by an acquaintance I made over one of the Japan forums. Hopefully my oral Japanese can improve as I study in this school. Heard that they have several community activities as well, I want to join them all, especially their karaoke class! 🙂
Shall let you know how it goes after I have attended it! Cheers!
