さようなら 先生! - ターネさん :(

10月 日
It's been a crazy time and I haven't checked into this wiki for several months. Hope all's well with anyone still using this for the remainder of the year.... I'm hoping October 2012 will be a good month for everyone. Take care and all the best with your Japanese language learning. (^_^)

7月7日 は　七夕（たなばた）でした.
みなさん、日本語が上手になれますように、 色々　ありがとう　ございました. Thank you for everything. I really enjoyed my year at St Bede's teaching and learning alongside you all. Keep working to maintain and build your Japanese skills by spending a little bit of time on Japanese each day. がんばって　下さい. がんばりなさい.
