受講生の方が今度台湾にご旅行に行かれるので台北の動画を使ってレッスンを行いました。
台湾の温泉は良さそうですね！あと、タピオカミルクティーのお店が結構あるみたいですが、英語では"Boba/Bubble tea/ Pearl milk tea/ Tapioca milk tea"など色々と言い方があるみたいなので覚えておくといいかなと思います。また、この教室の外国人インストラクターの多く（オーストラリアのSeanは知りませんが）はタピオカミルクティーが好きなので話のネタになるかなと思います！
なお、月曜日(18:00-19:10,19:25-20:35)と水曜日(18:00-19:10)は初級者の方（大人向けの旅行動画がメインのレギュラークラスです）が中心ですので、英会話にあまり自信がない方はこちらのクラスをおすすめしております！
