Reflections and Goals

PE 2: Reflection

ああええと

My original goals were to combine all aspects of pronunciation while being conscious of grammar. Of course, this is hard to accomplish in two weeks, but I feel like I have developed strategies on how to tackle this goal. First, I realized how beneficial hearing sentence and phrases being spoken out loud through recordings and shadowing. Also, I will try to memorize the pitch more through recordings rather than just looking at the pitch pattern visually. I was also able to learn vocabulary at a faster rate by listening to recordings. I feel like I am able to learn faster through audio rather than visuals. I've also been able to attach particles to the nouns to sound more like a native... however, I just need to be able to figure out which particle to attach!

As for the goals:

1. I was really busy during midterm so I wasn't able to go to Japanese Tables that week. However, I was able to go to Japanese tables after my meetings (even if it was just for 15 minutes so that was helpful.
2. I wasn't able to attend Office Hours once a week!
3. I had great opportunities to speak Japanese with my friends.
4. I was able to shadow. It was extremely helpful.

Now for PE 3:

Goals:

1. To continue to combine all aspects of pronunciation (pitch, intonation, speed) as well as grammar. However, this time, I want to really try to emphasize fluidity.
2. To be more conscious of the the different usages of each particle. I feel like it is getting harder to keep track.
3. To not only learn vocabulary at a faster rate, but also the pitch patterns.

Activities:

1. Go to Japanese Table at least once every two weeks.
2. Go to Office Hours once a week.
3. Speak with Japanese friends at least once a week.
4. Shadow once every two days for 10 minutes.
5. Listen to recordings of vocabulary and dialogue.
