It is always our great pleasure to organise events like this offering an opportunity for everyone in our community to get together, get to know one another and have fun while practicing the language that we work on so hard every day :)

We all come from different walks of life and yet have a shared interest. This brings us all together :)
We hope that you continue to benefit from the Asao project.

Massive thank you also goes to Ryo san from Takasugi Atelier https://www.instagram.com/takasugiatelier/ who generously offers us the prizes every year.

He works on a number of projects which includes but not limited to running a restaurant Okumatsusaka https://www.instagram.com/okumatsusaka/ and accommodation Stay Okumatsusaka https://www.airbnb.jp/rooms/1189239379816276289?source_impression_id=p3_1740193851_P34sAPyFnfBZKJl1

One of his missions is to invigorate the town of Iitaka in Mie prefecture where he is based :) Traveling to the west, it is a great spot to stop by, so please check it out!

Thank you all so much again for all your support and looking forward to seeing you at the March event!

Let's plough on :)

皆様

お世話になっております。
北家です。

2024年も大晦日となりました。
今年も沢山の感謝と反省を込めて年末のご挨拶をさせて頂きます。

Asao Language Schoolはお陰様で今年5月に開校10周年を迎える事が出来ました。
今日まで 当コミュニティーが存続できたのは、一筆に皆様お一人お一人の日々のお力添えのお陰です。ありがとうございます。

日本語学習者の皆さん、
日本に魅力を感じ続けてくれてありがとう。皆さんの日本語の習得への熱い思いがこのコミュニティーの根幹です。今年も笑いあり涙ありの盛り沢山の一年でしたね!
文法の複雑さや独特の表現方法に苦労する事も多いと思います。これからも思わず溜息が出てしまう時は遠慮なく先生に打ち明けて下さい。そして、上手く行った時は思い切り周りに自慢しましょう!
語学力の向上は必ず人生を豊かにし、明るい未来をもたらしてくれます :) 今年も大変お疲れ様でした!

英語学習者の皆さん、
皆さんの英語力は既にご自身が思っている以上に高いんですよ。自分の英語力にもっと自信を持ちましょう!
自信は分かり易く結果が出る時や出ない時に左右されるものではありません。むしろコツコツと努力を積み重ねてきたという不変的な事実を指します。
自分が決めた事を継続している自分を誉めてあげて下さいね。そして、学習の方向性に不安を感じた時はいつでも先生に相談して下さい :) 今年も大変お疲れ様でした!

先生方、
お一人お一人の言語と真摯に向き合う姿勢と語学教育への熱意がこのコミュニティーを支えております。熱く御礼申し上げます。我々の活動は学習者の語学力の向上のみならず、延いては彼らの未来を左右する重要な役割を担っております。コミュニケーション能力や社交性の向上から、進学や就職・転職を有利にする事、キャリアの選択肢の拡大、情報量の増加、異国でのコミュケーション、人脈の広がりに至るまで学習者に多くのメリットをもたらしております。これからも語学教育業界全体を一緒に盛り上げていきましょう。今年も大変お世話になりました。

サポートスタッフの皆、
私達の日々の活動は日の目を見る機会が少なく過小評価されがちです。しかし、私は一人一人の隠れた努力と思いやりにしっかりと気付いていますよ。皆の優しさと気配りがAsaoを頼って下さる全ての方々の幸福度に直結しています。良い時も悪い時も共に支えあってきた最高のメンバーです。本当にいつもありがとう。成功と失敗の連続の先には必ず明るい未来が待っています。今年も大変お疲れ様でした!　

来年もAsaoコミュニティー全体の発展とサービスの向上に、携わって下さる全ての方々に成果を実感して頂ける様に、そして日本の魅力を世界中のより多くの方々にお届け出来る様に全力で努めて参ります。

今年も大変お疲れ様でした。
来年もどうぞ宜しくお願い致します。

We wish you and your family a happy and prosperous New Year!
Let's enjoy the New Year' celebrations!

良いお年をお迎え下さい。

北家
