It's not easy to retain vocabulary and expressions when you're studying a language, and it's especially difficult to get words out on the spot when you're having conversations. I hope these weekly posts could be good practice for your Japanese studies!!
The question for today is: How do you say "The day after tomorrow" in Japanese??
The answer is...

明後日 [Asatte]
明日 [Asu/Ashita] means tomorrow
後 [Go/Ato] means after or later
It can be used to say "the opposite direction" in some phrases as well.
明後日の方 [Asatte no hou]
Asatte is used in this particular phrase and it means "opposite direction" instead of "the day after tomorrow". "Hou" means direction.
Writer's note: There's no way to read that word on your first try. To read "明後日" you literally need to have prior knowledge of the word, and although English has awkward silent P's and weird phonetic rules, nothing can prepare you for kanji.
