Since Pineapple had to take more than a month off from her regular swimming lessons in Japan, I looked for a lesson that she could attend while we were in the U.S. Plus, it was a good chance for her to be in an English speaking environment. Luckily, there was a summer program that mostly fit our schedule, and she was able to join the class once a week for a total of 4 lessons.
She did pretty well following instructions in English and enjoyed learning something different from what she had done in Japan.
After the first lesson, she said, "That wasn't long." Her lesson in Japan is hour long program, and she felt that 30 min. lesson was much shorter than what she expected. It was surprising to hear that she could tell the difference in time!
パイナップルは日本での水泳教室を１ヶ月以上も休まなければならなかったので、アメリカ滞在中に参加できそうな教室を探しました。それに、英語の環境に入ってもらう良い機会でもあったのでね。上手い具合に私たちの旅程に合うプログラムがあり、娘は１週間に１回、合計で４回のレッスンを受ける事が出来ました。
娘は英語での指示にも従う事ができ、日本のレッスンとは違った事を習えて楽しかったようです。
最初のクラスを受けた後、娘は「短かったね」と一言つぶやきました。日本でのレッスンは１時間なので、３０分のクラスは予想よりずっと短く感じたようです。時間の違いまで分かったとは驚きでした！
