Looking Forward To
Hope, Expectation, Anticipation, Pleasure, Enjoyment
noun, な adjective
You've seen the word 楽しい, which means "fun." This is obviously very similar looking, though this one means looking forward to. Why? Because it has a み on the end, saying "who is going to have fun? It's me! That's why I'm looking forward to it!"
The reading is just like 楽しい, so make sure you know that and you'll be able to read this one as well.
