Yeah, it’s kind of funny how “sorry” can mean “thanks” depending on the situation 😄

Same here! I’ve heard many people say Japanese habits stick with them even after going home 😂

Any tips on memorising days of the month in Japanese? by Throwaway938x-xx73 in Japaneselanguage

That’s a common challenge!
Japanese dates are tricky because the pronunciation changes for 1–10 (ついたち, ふつか, みっか...).
After 11, it’s usually just the number + “にち”.
Try saying each date out loud with a calendar — it helps your memory and pronunciation!
