Handing out fliers

Today I walked the streets of Kamioooka handing out fliers to advertise my new classes. It was challenging at first, but then I got used to it. Some people ignored me, some people ran away from me, some people smiled at me, and a few people showed interest! I was happy that some people even stopped and chatted with me a little!

If you see me on the street, say hello!

advertise - 宣伝する
ignore - 無視をする
interest - 興味
flier - チラシ
