🥁 One of the highlights of any Okinawa festival is the traditional Eisa dance performances! Eisa is a vibrant and energetic dance that’s deeply rooted in Okinawan culture, featuring drummers and dancers in colorful costumes moving to the beat of taiko drums. If you get the chance to go to a festival, don’t miss this beautiful celebration of tradition and rhythm! 🎶

Traditional Festival Attire 👘
One of the most beautiful sights at any Okinawan summer festival is people dressed in yukata! Yukata are traditional, lightweight kimono worn during the summer—perfect for staying cool while enjoying the festivities. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, adding a touch of elegance to the fun atmosphere. Have you ever worn one? It’s a great way to fully immerse yourself in the culture! 🌸

Ready for Some Fun? 🎯
Festival games are a big part of the summer fun! Try your luck at catching a goldfish with a net that breaks easily, test your aim in a shooting game, fish for water balloons, give the ring toss a shot, or try the string pull game where you win whatever prize is attached to the other end of the string. It’s all about enjoying the moment and maybe winning a prize or two! 🐟🎯

🎓 Presenting the English for Tourism Professionals 2024 graduates! They did a great job dedicating themselves to studying on their own and participating in weekly meetups for 8 weeks! It was hard work but we had fun and learned a lot. I'm sure they will use what they learned to excel in their careers.

📚 Is Your Child Feeling Lost with EIKEN Prep? I Can Help! 🌟

EIKEN exams can feel like a big challenge, especially when it comes to the reading and writing sections for levels 3, Pre-2, and 2. But don’t worry—I've got just the course to help your child navigate it all with confidence!

This fall, I’m offering a comprehensive EIKEN Test Prep course designed to give students an overview of the exam and the tools they need to succeed. We kick things off with a practice exam to help students understand exactly what they’re up against and to gauge their current level. Then, each week, we’ll dive into a different section of the test, breaking it down in a way that’s both manageable and engaging.

With a good mix of self-study and group work, weekly in-person meetings, and assignments to reinforce what they’ve learned, your student will get the guidance they need to master the exam. Plus, I’ll be sharing tips and tricks for each section, along with a weekly newsletter to keep everyone on track. Online resources will be available in their Google Classroom, so they’ll have everything they need right at their fingertips.

To join, your student will need a tablet or iPad, access to Google Classroom and Jamboard apps, and a Gmail address (either theirs or a parent’s).

Ready to help your child tackle the EIKEN exam with confidence? Message me today to get started!

Join me this Saturday! We will practice simple self introductions and get to know each other through games and activities. Hope to see you there! Spaces are limited so save your spot today.

📢 Registration is now open! I'm excited to announce a new English for Tourism Professionals program starting in May!
