PE1 : Goal and Activity Statement
Having a semester's worth of experience behind me and looking forward, I would like to proceed with my pronunciation/speaking skills as follows:
Things I want to improve:
I want to continue to work on my conversation speed - continue moving towards smoother sentences and work on my sentence flow.
Additionally, I think my pronunciation has improved greatly. However, the finer nuances like intonation and word pitch are two things that I want to continue to focus on.
Ideally, by the end of the semester I will be able to converse with the larger picture in mind.
To do this, I will do the following:
Every week, work on the fundamentals of my speaking (by reviewing exercises in the textbook and lecture slides) -- grammar, vocabulary.
I will do shadowing every couple weeks and focus on intonation and word pitch.
I will mark my progress in conversation speed and monitor to see if I need more focus on this area.

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
Over the last 7 weeks, I think I have generally improved towards my goals (intonation/word pitch). 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. Regarding goals, I did read through the textbook and practiced shadowing on occasion (but not as much as I had hoped), did practice new vocabulary, but haven't found time to attend the Japanese language table every other week. 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.
