🏃‍♂️Special Lesson: “My Health Habits” (Dekiru Nihongo Lesson 12)💪

On July 1, we invited Mr. Matsui, an advanced chiropractor, as our guest teacher✨

This special lesson was connected to Lesson 12, “My Health Habits,” from Dekiru Nihongo: Elementary-Intermediate. We wanted our students, who work hard every day in their studies and part-time jobs, to refresh themselves by moving their bodies and having fun😊

Mr. Matsui is a true professional of the human body and has even recently attended training sessions in the United States to further deepen his knowledge of how the body works🌎✨

First, we loosened up with some simple stretching exercises and then challenged ourselves with exercises incorporating movements from traditional Japanese martial arts, known as Kobudo🥋

The students were amazed to discover that simply changing the way they used their strength and moved their bodies could make such a big difference😲

“Wow, that’s amazing!” “Let me try again!” The room was filled with smiles and excitement as the students tried the movements again and again and received tips from Mr. Matsui☺️✨

After exercising, we returned to the classroom for a question-and-answer session! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Since Class 2 is currently studying Lesson 12, “My Health Habits,” the students actively asked questions using the expressions they had learned in class, such as, “What should I do when I have a pounding headache?” and “I work night shifts at my part-time job. How can I recover from fatigue?” 👏

It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to use the Japanese they had learned in a real-life situation, making it a very meaningful and fulfilling experience✨

We hope you will incorporate the stretches and body movements you learned today into your daily lives and stay healthy and energetic while studying and working😊🌿

Thank you very much, Mr. Matsui✨
