In this episode, we explore how to appreciate the four seasons of Japan: 春 /haɾu/ (spring), 夏 /natsu/ (summer), 秋 /aki/ (autumn), and 冬 /fuyu/ (winter). Each season brings unique 天気 /tenki/ (weather), activities, and moods that shape our experiences.

We start with spring, when the 花 /hana/ (flowers) bloom, and it's the perfect time for picnics with 友達 /tomodachi/ (friends) in the warm weather. Next, we dive into summer's heat, enjoying beach outings and バーベキュー /baabekyuu/ (barbecues) while watching the stars with friends at night.

As autumn arrives, we admire the vivid 紅葉 /kouyou/ (fall leaves) and indulge in warm drinks. Finally, winter brings its own charm with 雪だるま /yukidaruma/ (snowmen) and cozy moments with 家族 /kazoku/ (family) during holiday gatherings.
