期間:令和7年7月28日〜令和8年7月28日
I started a class of that language school, “Inlingua Victoria”, in Victoria on Tuesday this week. First, I took a writing and speaking test for leveling. Next, I made a school tour. Then, I joined a reading and writing class. The classmates are of various nationalities and ages, so I was perplexed by the different atmosphere in Japanese school. I was nervous at first, but thanks to the teacher and classmates who welcomed us cheerfully, the tension gradually eased.
While in class, many classmates responded positively to the question from the teacher, so I was stimulated to work on the class.
Regular classes began on Wednesday.
The first period is a grammar class. We learned expressions commonly used by native speakers and words that can be paraphrased. I want to continue to learn as many new paraphrases of words as possible and expand my vocabulary as I deepen my understanding.
The second period is reading/ writing class. This week, we studied chapter1 of the story “The Norwood Builder” from the novel “Sherlock Holmes”. The teacher expressed new words by using his body and objects, explained by taking a familiar example. He also teaches similar words together, making it easier to visualize and understand. There is a lot of time to interact with my classmates. The class has a homey atmosphere.
I want to actively use the expressions and vocabulary I learned at the language school in my daily life. In addition, I want to balance my studies with ballet school by using the time I have between language school and ballet school to secure study time.

今週の火曜日からビクトリアにあるInlingua Victoria 語学学校の授業が始まりました。まず、レベル分けのライティングとスピーキングのテストを受け、次に学校見学を行いました。その後、リーディング/ライティングのクラスに参加しました。クラスメイトは国籍も年齢も様々で、日本の高校の授業の雰囲気と異なり戸惑いました。最初は緊張しましたが、先生やクラスメイトが明るく迎え入れてくれたおかげで徐々に緊張がほぐれました。授業中、多くのクラスメイトが先生からの問いかけに積極的に答えていて、授業に取り組む姿勢に刺激を受けました。
水曜日からは通常の授業が始まりました。
1時間目は文法の授業です。ネイティブの人がよく使う表現や言い換えできる単語を習いました。これからも一つでも多く単語の新しい言い換えを覚え、理解を深めながら、単語の幅を広げていきたいです。
2時間目はリーディング/ライティングの授業です。今週は小説『シャーロックホームズ』の「The Norwood Builder」と言う物語の第1章を学びました。先生が新しい単語を身体や物を使いながら表現し、身近な例をあげて説明してくれます。また、類似した単語を一緒に教えてくれるため、イメージしやすく理解に繋がります。クラスメイトと交流する時間も多く、アットホームな雰囲気な授業です。
語学学校で学んだ表現力や単語の使い方を日常生活でも積極的に取り入れていきたいです。また、語学学校とバレエスクールの移動時間等を利用しながら学習時間を確保して、バレエスクールとの両立を行っていきたいです。
