- I have continued watching anime every week and shadowing various phrases. I have also started focusing on my listening skills and try to pay attention to vocabulary and conjugation of verbs and adjectives (usually they are casual form).
- I have continued to self-study and review daily, practicing my speaking while doing vocabulary review. Every other week, I read various Japanese texts aloud even if I may not necessarily know the grammar or meaning (I'm trying to learn more kanji as I do this, too).
- Unfortunately, I did not go to office hours or the language table near the end of the semester.
Goals Reflection:
- I think my ability to have conversations on the spot has improved as well as my intonation and speed!
- Of course, there's always room for improvement, so I will continue to practice when I can. Out of the 3 goals I had, I think I need to continue to focus on intonation and conversations "on the fly".
