Weekly Words no. 5: Eggs and Bunnies

Happy Good Friday, mina-san! I'm sure that (if you are someone who celebrates it) you are getting excited for Easter! I am too!

My boyfriend and I are heading to be with my two sisters for this weekend. On Tuesday, I'll be back home hosting an Easter Egg Hunt for my friends!

I got the idea to host the hunt after realizing that some of my Japanese friends on my college campus have never celebrated Easter before! I'm lucky to live off-campus in a house with a huge yard. There'll be so many good hiding spots!

This week's words are on the easier-side, since I was just told one of my newest readers is just starting their language learning adventure! ようこそ! Welcome new reader!
