PE 3

Reflections, PE2

In PE2 I chose to focus on becoming less hesitant in speaking. I think that while I've improved in this regard somewhat it could still use some work. I also have noticed some errors that appear in my speech when I try to speak with less hesitation, which I should work on correcting.

Goals, PE3
  • continue to improve my confidence
  • work on correcting errors while speaking (for example, using the wrong tense)
  • fix overall sentence pitch
Activities, PE3
  • attend language table and JSA dinners
  • spend some time speaking with Japanese-speaking friends

Fall break

あきやすみはよかったです。どようびともだちとニューヨークにいきました。にちよびうちにかえりました。


ルームメイトの Anne-Claire は D.C. にいきました、そしてわたしのうちにきました。



D.C. でSandyはあまり大きくありませんでした。



すいようびのばんえいがをみました。weirdです。


きんようびAnne-Claireはプリンストンにかえりました。にちようびわたしも。

せんしゅうのきんようびにはちじはんにアニメクラブへいきました。じゅうじはんにうちにかえりました、そしてしゅくだいをしました。

こんしゅうテストがあります。どようびのあさ、としょかんにべんきょしました。でも、ごごろくじごろりょうにかえりました。はちじごろカラオケをしました。しゅうまつによくわたしのルームメイトはカラオケをします。

Is anyone planning on going to New York to see the Madoka Magica movies in theaters?

PE2



Reflections, PE1

For my first PE cycle, I chose the goal of becoming more confident in speaking and in reading aloud. I chose some activities - language table, shadowing - that I thought would give me practice with this. I did most of what I set out for myself to do, although I did have to miss one of the language tables during the cycle.

I think I've gotten better at the speaking from text just by having more practice reading hiragana and katakana,  but I'd still like to work on free speech. I think my pronunciation and intonation is reasonable for the moment, but I've found that, even when I kow the relevant grammar and vocabulary, I have some difficulty speaking without pauses when I'm forming sentences rather than reading aloud.


Goals, PE2:
  • try to become more comfortable speaking, with less hesitation - particularly when assembling sentences (choosing particles, etc.)

Activities, PE2:
  • attend language table each week
  • try to use what I know with my roommates in daily life
  • listen to and, if appropriate, shadow 15-30 minutes of Japanese speech (anime, conversation, songs, etc.) total each week
