シジム みなさんこんばんは、
In the beginning of this year, I posted some PE goals and action plans to achieve them. Since we are halfway done with our JPN 101 class right now, I guess it is time to reflect back on those goals. I am color coding the titles to indicate how much I managed to achieve them. Goals: 1) Listening Comprehension: I can understand bits and pieces of Japanese media, if they contain words or phrases that I have learned in class. Also, I believe noticing long vowels, glides, and double consonants while listening got easier for me overall. 2) Speaking and Conversation: I am still having issues with trying to hold a conversation. It is hard to form sentences on the fly, and I make quite a lot of errors with particles and grammar when I am trying to hold a casual conversation. I need practice more in this area. 3) Close to natural: I believe I am making good progress with sounding natural (when I can form the sentences right, that is). I am improving on pronunciation, pitch, intonation, and speed, and I am quite happy with my progress so far. Action statements: 1) Go to Japanese tables at least once every two weeks: I could go to just two Japanese tables so far, which is less than what I was aiming for in the beginning. My schedule got in the way for the most time, but I will keep this action plan in order to try to go to more Japanese tables in the second half of this course. 2) Watch anime and listen to Japanese songs: I mentioned that I would watch a 20-minute anime episode every week and practice shadowing with anime, but I couldn't watch as much anime as I would like to. However, I am listening to Japanese songs often, as I said I would, and trying to sing over the lyrics. I still want to keep this action plan in place. 3) Practice speaking with friends: I could not really speak casual Japanese with my friends outside of classes or language tables. I am planning to change this action plan to: Go to office hours every other week to practice speaking and conversation. じゃまた! シジム |
