わたしのあきやすみ

わたしのあきやすみはいいです。うちにかえりました。セアトルからきました。べんきょうしました(たいへんです)。そしてわたしのともだちのだいがくにいきました。わたしのともだちはブラノのがくせいです。そしてわたしはカリフォルニアにいきました。そしてえいがおみました。

Reflection and Goals, Part 2

As far as rhythm goes, I think that I still pause in conversation when I am thinking about what to say and how to say it.

For setting new goals:

I would like to do one additional shadowing every week (and reflect on my pronunciation/intonation), and continue with practicing the vocabulary/grammar with the help of the online aids.
