🌸 Day 13 – Cleaning, Shopping & a Bit of Self-Introduction in Japanese 🇯🇵🧼

Konnichiwa, minna-san!
Today wasn’t about sitting with books or typing new vocabulary into my notes.
It was about living — doing chores, taking care of my home, my health, and still staying connected to my learning journey.

🛍️ My Day in a Glance

Today I went to VMart, did a big grocery haul for the whole month — bought dry fruits, oil, rice, and all the daily essentials 🍚🥜🥦. I love how organized that store is!

After coming back, I didn’t take rest — nope!
I cleaned my house from top to bottom, did washroom cleaning, organized my kitchen, and even managed to clean myself up too! 🧽🛁
Yes, it was tiring. But that fresh home feeling? Totally worth it.

And guess what? Amid all this, I kept repeating my self-introduction lines in Japanese.
Even when I'm doing something else, I try to keep the words floating in my mind — that’s the trick to building muscle memory in language!

👋 My Basic Self-Intro in Japanese

Here’s how I’ve learned to introduce myself:

• こんにちは、はじめまして。
  Konnichiwa, hajimemashite.
  Hello, nice to meet you.

• わたしは りちゃ です。
  Watashi wa Richa desu.
  I am Richa.

• インドからきました。
  Indo kara kimashita.
  I’m from India.

• ２５さいです。
  Nijuugo-sai desu.
  I’m 25 years old.

• ソフトウェア・エンジニアです。
  Sofutowea enjinia desu.
  I’m a software engineer.

• よろしくおねがいします。
  Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
  Please treat me well (Nice to meet you).

These few lines are a great way to start any conversation. And even though I was scrubbing tiles and folding groceries today, I kept practicing them — whispering them like a mantra 😄

🌿 My Little Note to You

Some days will be super productive, some days will be all about rest.
And then there are days like today — where life becomes the classroom.

Whether it’s practicing Japanese while cooking or revising self-intro while cleaning… it all counts. You’re showing up. And that’s what matters.

So if you’re learning too — keep it light, keep it real, and keep going. 🌈

またね！(Matane!)
ありがとう ございます！(Arigatou gozaimasu!)
~ Richa (りちゃ)
