Comic story teller Mr.Harenosuke Tatekawa came over our school this year too.

We had listening Rakugo class for middle class students.

In adbance, students watched DVD that introdcing Rakugo and studied about the rule of Rakugo and words that come out in the performance.

Students looked very worried about they can't catch up with  such a difficult and fast Japanese but they actually listened Rakugo, all students  laughed out loud.

There were lots of impressions from the students, such as 

"I think it si very difficult that  only one person speak and discribe the story and let everyone can imagine it.But I could easy to understand by listening and watching Rakugo today.It was very interesting."
"I think Japanese language can be interesting by a little ingenuity.I want to touch many kinds of Japanese so that I can speak more interesting and fascinating."

It seems that it became a good stimulus for learning Japanese.

Thank you very much Mr.Harenosuke,you played for us to understand easily.
