Description
In this episode, I repeatedly referred to 四字熟語 (よじじゅくご) as 四文字熟語(よんもじじゅくご) by mistake. The correct term is 四字熟語(よじじゅくご), and I apologize for the error! Join us on a journey through the fascinating world of 四字熟語, Japanese four-character idioms. This episode highlights three favorites: 一日一善, encouraging daily good deeds; 腹八分目, promoting mindful eating; and 三日坊主, a reminder of the challenges in maintaining new habits. We'll discuss their meanings, share personal stories on how these idioms apply to everyday life, and inspire you to create your own.
