It’s time to learn another idiom! In Japan when people finish working in a day they always say “Otsukaresama desu!” to tell the other people or the coworkers that they’ve worked really hard and they must be tired!
In English, there is another way to end a tiring day from work! You can say, “Alright everyone, let’s call it a day!” It means you are telling everyone that they’ve done so much on that day and the working time is over!
That’s pretty much for now, make sure to use it at some point! Stay tune in for the next idiom!


‘Call it a day’ – Stop working on something

It’s already May! It’s the month which starts the shifting from breezy to rainy days. It would be rainy here in Japan but in the Philippines it’s already hot! Hence, they have this kind of festival called “The Sea Festival”!
This festival marks the summer season and most of the families, group of friends or workers have plan to go to some famous beaches to celebrate. In some areas of the country, provinces are hosting some activities like sports activities, parades, talent shows and some other exhibits during the first week May. People have this kind of exciting about this celebration because they got used to do a group outing and spend 1-3 days in some good places.
This is how the Philippines make a fun celebration in May! If you have the chance, you must go on a trip and experience this kind of fun celebration in this country!

On the 25th of May Africans celebrate Africa Day. This day is when Africans annually celebrate the commemoration of the foundation of the African Union which was created in 1963. On this day, Africans in a particular area come together dressed in their respective cultural gear and they meet in a set place with their favorite traditional dishes which they share and celebrate together as they listen to music from their respective countries. Africa Day also symbolizes the celebration of African nations` efforts to fight colonial rule from Western countries. A lot of lives were lost to liberate Africans today, the fight was worth it as this allowed African children to access better educational opportunities as well as better jobs for their parents.

Hello, everyone! It’s already May. We’re almost half year into 2020. Time has gone by really fast, hasn’t it? It’s been a crazy year, so I hope everyone can finally enjoy at least a little bit more now that May is here. Did everyone get the chance to exercise these past few months? I know exercising can be really tough, but there is a pretty famous expression we use. Have you ever heard of the idiom “No pain, no gain”? Whenever we strongly exercise, we often feel incredibly tired, right? However, consistently working out while feeling tired means you are becoming stronger and healthier. If you do not work out hard enough to even sweat, your body will barely change. You cannot gain anything you want unless you work hard and feel some pain when it comes to exercise!
“No pain, no gain” can also be used for studying hard. Many students do not like to study hard, but getting into the high school or university that you want requires a lot of studying. The long hours of studying for entrance exams would be worth it when you can finally enter the university you want, right? This year, let’s do our best to work hard and achieve our dreams! No pain, no gain!
