PE1 Reflection & PE2 Goals

PE1 Reflection:

My goals for this past cycle included speeding up my speaking and correctly pronouncing らりるれろ, and while far from perfect, I feel that I did improve on these two fronts. I am certainly speaking faster than I was at the beginning of the cycle and I do not think my pronunciation has suffered. The issue of long/short vowels and rhythm still require a lot of work. Though I found that merely listening to some Japanese every day helped me to develop a sense of what to aim for with my speaking, that is still a far cry from being able to reproduce it. Hopefully I will continue to improve in this facet as the year goes on.

PE2 Goals:

• Improve rhythm, i.e. produce long/short vowels and give ん its own mora, etc.
• Memorize pitch patterns along with words and reproduce them correctly

Activities:

• Continue trying to get in at least a couple minutes of listening to/mimicing/shadowing authentic Japanese every day
• Have a conversation with a native speaker and/or attend language table every week
