Next Next Week

I somehow keep hearing native speakers of English saying "next next week" here. Is it now common to say that among native speakers? I feel it a bit strange.

Very uncommon (at least here in California) I would say "the week after next."

I would never use this, I would use - the week after next.

I see it a lot in ESL and in the international community. I teach at an international school in Japan and the kids say it all the time, no matter how often you correct them!

I guess my coworkers have gotten it from our students. Having had a bit of upbringing in the States as a kid, I feel it VERY strange.

Thanks for the explanation, it is now clearer to me.

I am from China, I think Japan has similar language logic with us. Most probably it is from the local language grammar - we have that kind of expression in Chinese too.

In South Africa too - most people say "next of next week" in reference to the "week before next." Can someone advice?

Don't use it unless you are in South Africa.

I would say that's strange and uncommon, native speakers sometimes neglect grammar more than others Emotion: smile I even remember my grammar
