Inspired by @mainichi-nihongoal & @fluencylevelfrench I am going to take part in the #sixwordsadaychallenge! I will probably be doing more like six words a week but don't tell anyone...

I don't have a planned start/finish timeline, cos those never work for me and my busy schedule. So please enjoy them when I actually get to them (and maybe learn some vocab with me!).
