令和二年三月十九日 -- 木曜日


Happy First Day of Spring!  The kanji for spring is   春  はる

Here is the translation of a famous haiku by Matsuo Bashō      松尾芭蕉

”Sitting quietly, doing nothing, Spring comes, and grass grows by itself.”



😊I wish I could see your spring faces today!  I hope you're able to get outside a little bit, safely.😊




The Chinese government says it has officially decided to use the Japanese-developed anti-influenza drug Avigan in treating people infected with the new coronavirus.  Please look at this encouraging link.



Some 日本語の vocabulary relevant to the current situation:

コロナウイルス                    Corona virus

情報    じょうほう                  information

誤報   ごほう                         misinformation

感染    かんせん                 infection

インフルエンザ                    influenza

マスク             (medical or industrial) mask (the counter is まい)

手 を 洗う           to wash hands  (て を あらう Group 1 verb)

健康な けんこうな  healthy (na adjective)



***I saw a wonderful little story on NHK.***  Here is the headline:

山梨県甲府市 中学生が自分で作った600枚のマスクを贈る。

You know some of these 漢字  kanji, right? 

 The headline says, "A middle school student in Yamanashi Prefecture, Koufu City, donates 600 masks she made herself."

What an outstanding young person!  Her name is Takimoto Hime, and she sewed them on her mother's sewing machine.
