My goals for the past cycle included improving my rhythm and my pitch patterns. I think my rhythm did improve, however, when the speed of speaking increases I discovered that I have a tendency to make pronunciation mistakes, get choppy, or both. Thus, I decided to make speed be the primary goal of my PE3.
PE3 Goals:
- Improve speed of speaking without making frequent mistakes
- Continue improving with being able to recognize/repeat pitch patterns
- Listen to Japanese spoken word as often as possible and work on distinguishing words and pitch patterns
- When practicing shadowing, chose relatively more fast clips to practice on/submit so I get some practice with faster speaking
