こんにちは！国際交流センターです。
先生と着付けサークル部員のご協力のもと浴衣を着付けていただきました。
それぞれに感想を聞きました。
Cindy（写真左）:
Yesterday I had a great time learning how to wear a Yukata!
I definitely underestimated how difficult it is to correctly wear a Yukata.
I now have a great appreciation for this practice.
Everyone there was very friendly and helpful in properly teaching us this traditional Japanese art.
I’m looking forward to wearing Yukata again, and this time, putting it on myself!
ふたりともよく似合ってますね 😀

I had a lot of fun visiting the Kimono Club, where I got to try on a yukata!
The first time I tried it on, the club members helped me and demonstrated how to wear it.
After that, they had me (with some assistance) try it on myself!
The steps in wearing a kimono or yukata were more complicated than I expected (so many layers!),
but I think I was able to get by with the guidance of the nice Kimono Club members.
(One of them was also a Shrine Maiden which I thought that was really cool!)
I especially liked tying the obi (belt) into a bow!
The club members also practiced their English with us, and demonstrated traditional Japanese bowing.
昨日いらしていた皆さん、勢ぞろいで記念撮影。やはり華やかですね！
ご協力本当にありがとうございました＾＾
このようにCindyとAnnieや外国人留学生と交流したい方、

「あー！もっと英語勉強しとけばよかった！！」
という声も 聞こえました。
皆さんの英語学習のモチベーションアップにもつながると思いますよ★
CindyとAnnieと友達になれば英語も教えてもらえるし一石二鳥です♪
