////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I introduce ''八月'' on this time.

12 months constitute one year.
We express them with numbers from 1 to 12.
It is very easy.

八月 ( August ).
Very hot days continue in Japan.

Most Japanese take a long vacation called "a summer vacation" in August.
We have a traditional custom to visit an ancestral grave in this time.
We thank ancestors together.


I introduce ''九月'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
