I just hosted two Students from Japan for ten weeks

I loved my experience hosting two young women from a university in Hiroshima. We spent many hours around the dinner table communicating. They were English literature majors. But they we tentative with understanding spoken English . We loved each other and taught each other so much. Now we video chat and it’s still our practice to take as long as it takes to understand what we are attempting to convey. I am going to be a host mother to two more students from Japan. I asked my girls to write letters to the nest students who will live with me. So they wrote it in Japanese.Tell me how to post pictures and I will show the letters here and if anyone reads Japanese with hearts drawn all over, you could tell me what they wrote.
