Countdown to the start of SIJ! | SIJスタートまであと・・・

English follows Japanese!

東京でのどたばたな1週間を終え、ついに岡山入りしました、ひろつるです。

毎年恒例、ハーバード生を迎える夏の英語集中セミナーSummer in JAPANも今年で5周年。今年はいつもの大分に加えて岡山での1週間が加わります。

さらにカルテットの日本ツアーも控え、もう忙しさが加速を極める毎日ですが
夏休みならではのこの感覚、嫌いじゃないです!

昨夜はアメリカから計3名が岡山に到着。時差ボケながらもあさって開幕のSIJに向けてわくわくしています。

5周年目のSIJの様子はブログだけでなくTwitterでもできるだけ実況していきたいと思っていますので、ぜひ応援お願いします!ではまた明日!

(8月7日のSummer in JAPANコンサート、8月11日のアンソニア・カルテット東京公演、まだ残席あります。お申し込みはお早めに!)


Just arrived in Okayama City last night after a super hectic week in Tokyo!

Summer in JAPAN (SIJ), a two-week education program I started during my freshman year in my hometown Oita, marks its fifth year this summer (still can’t believe this). We are adding another week of teaching in a city called Okayama as our new initiative, which will have 75 local students.

Preparing for SIJ in two cities and for my quartet’s Japan tour in August at the same time makes my life 100x more hectic, but this busy-ness somehow makes me feel the summer vibe (I guess because my summer has always been like this), and I like it this way.

Three student instructors from the U.S. (from Harvard, Stanford, and UT) came in last night and more to come today – I am super excited for the start of the program!

The program officially starts on the 26th, but I’ll try to start posting our updates on Twitter and here on blog 🙂 I hope I can show you a lot of our activities!
