Japanese summer related words. Posted by on Jun 12, 2015 in Culture, Grammar

 

My kids have already started the summer break. I know some of you out there have been already done with school or have kids who are out of school and enjoying the summer. As a mom, I am not sure if I like this long summer break that lasts until the end of August. ๐Ÿ™‚ I feel like summer is too long for school children. When I grew up in Japan, summer break was only a month and half at most from mid July through the end of August. However, long break allows us to travel to see our friends and family. I will be making a trip to Japan again this summer to go see my family.

In this blog today, I would like to cover some summer related fun Japanese words. I might have covered some of these in the past, but hopefully this post will give you an opportunity to learn some new Japanese vocabulary and expression.
