Japanese Word of the Day 9/9/15

こんにちは、皆さん!^-^ The Japanese word for the day is...*drum roll*

 

おろおろ、orooro

いみ(meaning):Nervous, flustered, in a dither (lol), all shook up (adverb, verb)

 

れいぶん(example sentence):私は演説をする前に、とてもおろおろしていた。watashi wa enzetsu wo suru mae ni, totemo ororo shite ita.

 

ほんやく(translation):Before I made my speech, I was very nervous.

 

I am so sorry for missing a day -- and almost two (p.s.t., haha)! Life has been super busy as of late. Anyway ^-^ I feel like this is an important word to know, because when you try new things -- which you definitely will -- in Japan, you're going to be nervous. Whether that is asking for directions for the first time, or walking up to someone and starting a conversation in the language. Overcoming nervousness is well worth the reward and will gain you new and amazing experiences!

 

Any and all questions about the language are welcomed in the comments section of through PM! じゃあ、明日ね!^-^

I'm nervous I'll be able to memorize all these before going to Japan. D:

Oh, you shouldn't be ^-^ The key to memorizing a word past short term is actually using it. When ever you get the chance, say it out loud or in your head -- preferably the former option. You'll begin to create long term memory this way, and by speaking it you'll form muscle memory as well.
