Ichinichi ippo

One step each day.

DJW original reflection on an everyday Japanese phrase

Choose a step small enough to fit the day you actually have: one new word, one sentence read aloud, one question asked.

Language note: 一日 (いちにち / ichinichi) means one day here; 一歩 (いっぽ / ippo) means one step. Notice the doubled p in ippo.

What is one small thing you can learn today?
