Reflection & New Goal Statement

こんばんは、 みなさん。
It's been 7 weeks now, and it's time to talk a little about what I've been able to do with prosody so far. Last time I outlined some activities that I wanted to do to improve my prosody skills. I've been able to attend most of the Japanese language tables and Shibata-sensee's office hours. I have been able to better recognize and reproduce pitch patterns in Japanese words, although there's still some work to do. However, I haven't been able to listen to recordings or anime as often as I'd like to.
In the future, I will try to do the listening exercises more often. I also feel that I should start working on my pronunciation, and especially speed while talking in Japanese, so that it sounds more natural. To accomplish this, I will start doing shadowing for ten minutes at least once every two days, and more often if possible.

    It seems that you are working very hard. Let's both try our best to improve our Japanese as much as possible.
