The main goal I have for working on my prosody is intonation/word pitch, so that I can work on my speech patterns. I would also like to work on my rhythm, but I think that rhythm and other pronunciation is more easily grasped without verbal practice. Thus, I would like to set the following activities for myself:
-Read the textbook/ practice shadowing for 20 minutes three times a week.
-Constantly practice new vocabulary/grammar
-Attend the Japanese language table at least every other week.
I'm having a lot of trouble with intonation and word pitch as well. My strategy is to review vocabulary with attention to the pitch using audio and the horizontal guidelines above each word. I didn't think about shadowing though: maybe I should incorporate into my next goal statement. Hope to see you at にほんごテーブル！
