Reflection and Goals for PE

My speech is slowly getting better, although there's still a lot to improve. Pitch has gotten better, and I am starting to get the intonation right. Speed is also quite good, unless it comes to long phrases.
Unofrtunately, I was not able to do all of the activities I outlined in my previous reflection, but I plan to do them in the second half of semester. I was able to do shadowing at least once a week, though. 
I will continue working on:

• Speed - I feel like it takes me too long to say phrases in Japanese. It's not easy to think of something to say (and make it grammatically correct) quickly enough and then actually say it, so I have to work on this issue. 
• Intonation - still needs improvement.
• Communication - あいずち and general communication during dialogues needs improvement. 

As I said last time, the best way to improve speech is to talk with someone, and for that reason I plan to attend the 先生's office hours as often as possible, maybe twice a week if I can. I will continue to shadow materials every week for at least 10 minutes.
