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

I introduce ''十月'' on this time.

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

十月 ( October ).
Some leaves begin to turn red and yellow little by little in Japan.

It is this time that the harvest moon is watched.


I introduce ''十一月'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
