Hi everyone! Every June, after my kids start summer break\u00a0in U.S., I normally come back to my hometown, Gifu Japan with my kids. I have been in Japan since last week, and I have to tell you, weather is getting humid every day. June is normally rainy season in Japan, but this year is not as bad as last year. Temperature has been around late 70’s to early 80’s with partly cloudy forecast for the most part. \u00a0However, since I am not so used to the humid weather in the U.S., I am feeling\u00a0uncomfortable, especially at night.<\/p>\n
\u00a0In this article, let me introduce you to some of the vocabularies that are often used during the summer months.<\/p>\n
\u3080\u3057\u3042\u3064\u3044\u3000\uff08\u84b8\u3057\u6691\u3044\uff09- mushiatsui<\/strong><\/p>\n You cannot go through summer in Japan without saying the word “mushi atsui” once. This just means “humid.” It gets so humid here and that you will probably keep repeating this word to yourself and anyone around you. \u00a0During the summer, conversation with the neighbors normally start with “\u84b8\u3057\u6691\u3044\u3067\u3059\u306d\u3002\uff08\u3080\u3057\u3042\u3064\u3044\u3067\u3059\u306d\u3002\uff09-mushi atsui desune. (It is humid, isn’t it?)\u201d<\/p>\n Here are some of the vocabularies you can use during the summer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To be honest, summer is not my favorite time of the year to come back to Japan. I wish I could be here during the Spring or Fall.. \u00a0I will be here for another month or so, so I plan on introducing you to many of the cultural aspects of Japan during my stay here.. \u00a0Stay tuned!<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi everyone!
