七夕の短冊づくりの授業をしました。

At Kyoto Language Academy, we held a special Tanabata activity where students wrote their wishes on traditional paper strips called tanzaku!

First, the teacher explained the history and cultural meaning of Tanabata in Japan, and everyone listened with great interest .

Then, each student carefully thought about how to write their wishes in Japanese, and completed their own tanzaku.

There were many heartfelt wishes like:

“May my family stay healthy.”

“I want to become better at Japanese.”

For many, it was their first time experiencing the custom of decorating bamboo branches with their wishes — and they seemed to truly enjoy it.

The students’ serious expressions while thinking of their wishes, and their happy smiles as they looked up at the finished decorated bamboo, made this a very memorable moment.

We sincerely hope all of their precious wishes come true.

【七夕の短冊づくりの授業をしました】

京都ランゲージアカデミーでは、七夕にちなんで短冊に願い事を書く体験を行いました！

まずは先生から日本の七夕の由来や文化について話を聞き、みんな興味津々。

その後、自分の願いを日本語でどう書こうか一生懸命考えて、短冊を完成させていました。

「家族が健康でいられますように」

「日本語がもっと上手になりますように」など、

みんなの気持ちがこもった短冊がたくさん。

笹に飾るという日本独自の風習も、初めての体験でとても楽しんでくれたようです。

お願い事を考える真剣な表情や

完成した笹を見上げた、嬉しそうな笑顔が

とても印象的な時間となりました！

みんなの大切な願いが叶いますように。
