THE JAPANESE WORD OF THE FORTNIGHT

おなかぺこぺこ (‘onaka peko peko’), which means hungry/starving, is the Japanese Word for the first two weeks of Term 2. It is a casual way of saying ‘hungry/starving’.

You can simply use ‘おなかぺこぺこ’ (‘onaka peko peko’) when you are feeling hungry/starving.

We encourage everyone to use this expression during the holiday too!

Thank you / ありがとうございます (pronounced ‘aligatoh gozaimas’) for your continuing support for our Japanese program.
