Travel, りょこう〔旅行〕

りょこう(旅行)はだれ(誰)もがいっしょうにいちどはしたいことです。せかい(世界)をりょこし(旅行史)、私達のまわり(周り)の世界をしることは、じゅうよう(需要)です。日本人はこくないをはじめ(始め)、かいがい(海外)を旅行するのが好きです。 では、海外旅行をけいかくすること、またその旅行について話すことをべんきょう(勉強)します。とてもわくわくします。

Everyone wants to travel at least once in a lifetime. It’s important to travel and know the world around us. Japanese people like to travel domestically and abroad. So you can plan a trip abroad too. In this unit, you will learn how to talk about planning an overseas trip. It’s very exciting.

Remember to keep in mind that fluency in Japanese (or any foreign language) does not happen overnight. It may seem to be a very slow process at times, but better fluency is only achieved with more practice and by seeking new ways to practice and use your new skills.
