As you know, I engage in 2 volunteer activities.

One is waterfall activity named "献水の滝物語" and the other is mountain walking activity named "広島湾岸トレイル".

At last, these two activities will overlap with each other!

This summer, we will have an event that we walk mountains from Mt. Soukoyama(Mitakiyama) to Mt. Ochausuyama and after that go to our waterfall located at the foot of Mt. Ochausuyama to stand and pray under the waterfall.

It is an exciting Japanese nature experience.

It contains three impotant elements such as "nature experience", "pray for peace" and "meditation and self care for mental health".

We want to bring it up one of the well-known inbound event in Hiroshima.

Last Forum, I intoduced a book titled "英語ネイティブ脳みその作り方" and told that I was going to practice what the book said to do.

First of all, I bought a lot of sticky note "post-it".

The book said how to make use of the sticky notes. 

With the sticky notes, we can recognize all things being within sphere of my everyday life in English.

For that, what I should do is only to write each name of my personal belongings on the sticky note and to put it on.

However, I was so busy that I couldn't that this week.

So I did the second instruction.

That is to talk to myself in my mind in English.

Here, I always have a situation I can't know whether I make sense or not.

Then I got an amazing advice from this book.

The book said that I can talk to Siri in English. That way, I'll never be embarrassed.

So I talked to my English-Japanese translator app on my iPhone.

Even though some of my pronouncition is never received, it's fun! 

Finally, I told that I am glad that my iPhone understand my talk.

So it answed me saying that "私のiPhoneが私の話を理解してくれてうれしいです。".

I was so satisfied.

Furthermore, the book recommends 「Orai」 that is an app to excise to speak developed by a boy with terrible stage flight.

I can't wait to use it!

① about this week

 

Last Sunday, I went to our waterfall inspite of on the day without 6.

Recently, we, waterfall activity, hold the event standing and praying under the waterfall on the first Sunday of every month.

After that, we went to Mt. Ochausuyama and took a break on the vantage and rocky place.

At the time, we found a party consisted of 4 people.

All of us were very surprised because three of them were friends such as Sera san and Yanatsubo san!

It's amazing because I met Yanatsubosan at Eigo Forum just on the day before.

And just I learned that Sera san began to blow ocarina.

I made up my mind to take a photo that Sera san was blowing ocarina and put that photo on Facebook with this speech.

I got it.

I'm going to later and don't miss it!

Anyway three of us enjoyed blowing each flute such as ocarina, shinobue and Horagai.
