Hope everyone is doing well. Weather has been just perfect these days here in Pacific Northwest. Somedays we can feel summer is almost here. No more heavy rains, and so nice to spend some time outside.   Hope you are enjoying your weather out there too. By the way, have you learned any new Japanese words recently? There are a few words/expressions I would like to share with you before May goes away. 🙂

Today’s topic came from this new exercise routine that I picked up a few months ago. This was something I had never tried in the past, and it was super hard at the beginning, but before I knew it, even though I am still learning every day, I totally fell in love with it. 🙂 If you ask me what I am up to recently, this is the word I would be using to explain…””Muchu (むちゅう，夢中)” ( I just found out that this is also a name of one of the villages in Nepal (it might be pronounced differently than Japanese though.))  This is such an easy word to remember, but so useful to know. Below are some key sentences you would like to remember. Read on~
