Equinox

Tomorrow is a holiday in Japan. In English we call it the Autumnal Equinox. We consider it the first day of Autumn, but it is not a holiday in America.

My wife wants me to spend the day cleaning my library at home. It is messy right now.

Also, she wants me to visit a friend of hers. I have never met her friend so I’m a little nervous. In Japan when we meet a new person we are supposed to use special polite language. I am afraid I will forget and use normal language. I hope he doesn’t think I am rude. I want to leave a good impression.

Do you have trouble remembering when to use polite language?
