Found a Foreign Family at the Park

You can hear the voice recording for the diary.

 

いつもの公園に行ったら、外国人の親子が遊んでいた。

When I went to the park with my son as usual, a foreign father and his daughter were playing.

 

せっかくなので声をかけてみると、近くの中学校のALTの先生でアメリカ人だった。

Since I saw them, I talked to him. He is an American and works as an Assistant Language Teacher at a junior high school.

 

幸い、子供たちも仲良く遊んでくれたので、その先生と英語で話をすることができた。

Fortunately, I enjoyed talking to him as my son and his daughter played together.

 

久しぶりの外国人との会話に緊張するも、なんとか場をもたせることができた。

Even though I was a little nervous about talking to a foreigner for the first time in a while, I was able to speak to him while staying at the park.

 

お互いに好印象で話を終えることができ、また次回、同じ公園で会うことを伝えた。もし、関係が続いて友達になれたらわたしにとっても、長男にとってもいい話である。

Though my son still can’t speak either Japanese or English, his daughter cared for my son. Before leaving the park, I told him I come to the park on weekends. If I became a friend of his, it would be a great opportunity for both my son and me.

 

 

To be continued.
