This Japanese phrase is a 四字熟語 (“yo-ji-juku-go”), a 4-character idiom.
The characters in this 4-character idiom are:
日 sun or day
進 continue
月 moon or night
歩 walk or step
= continue, step by step, every day and night.
This is often how I feel when I’m learning Japanese. Progress is so slow, but I know I’m improving constantly because everyday I can understand a little more.
If you ever feel like you can’t see any progress, compare your situation to a year ago, and see how far you’ve come.
