Shiranai 5 ... October 5 / 2011

Well ... This week's lesson was really fun to teach.  We talked about Hachiko and Komainu.  Lots of people said that they really enjoyed this story.  If you haven't done it yet....It's coming soon...

I am also looking forward to teaching next week's lesson.  We are going to talk about "CHOZUDOKURU".  Do you know how to "purify" yourself before heading to the shrine? 

Well, we will see.

I think we will also be able to talk about the "SAISENBAKO"...

We will have to see how far we can get though...

GOOD LUCK!
