Since the day I knew I was going to write a blog for my trip, I decided that I would like to try to make it more interactive for my readers. So I've thought that it would be fun if, at the end of the weekly blog entry, I post a Japanese word and definition and perhaps some minor bits of grammar. Therefore, just as I'll be here learning Japanese, you can learn some Japanese as well. However, these words won't usually be picked at random, they'll usually be something which relating to what is on my mind at the time, but I will try to explain my reasoning to you with each word. I hope you enjoy this little feature and hopefully we all learn something from it!
Today's Japanese word is: Tadaima (pronounced: ta-dye-ma). Used as an interjection when one returns home. This word means "I'm home"
Using tadaima now feels fitting. All my life I've wanted to go to Japan, and now that I'm here I finally feel like I'm realizing one of those cheesy childhood fantasies. However, what makes this truly important to me, is that my host family has made me feel like their home is my home. I haven't been here long but, for now, yes I am home.
