Reflecting upon my PE1 goals and activities, I realize that I've come far since then because now I can "read Hiragana characters without having to think about each character individually." I have memorized the natural flow and rhythm in words to a certain extent, but I do not think I sound like a native yet. I did attend Japanese language table which was very fun. Because the things we can say in Japanese are so limited right now, however, I think the language table will help a lot more when I have more things I can practice. I could not do shadowing 10 minutes per day, but I practiced about once every three days with Japanese drama. I've also talked to my Japanese friends in some Japanese phrases I know, and they were pleasantly surprised! :D
PE 2 Goals/Activities:
-To start a new Japanese drama and shadow for 10 minutes once every three days
-Attend Japanese language table
-To practice reading Katakana to reach the level in which I don't have to think about one character at a time
-To practice speaking and listening for long vowels
ルームメート！にほんごのテレビをみましたか？

We should practice together!
がんばって！ Let me know if you find a good にほんごのテレビ番組 — I am looking for a new way to practice listening and that sounds like a great idea. I am having trouble myself being able to recognize and produce カタカナ characters as well as I do ひらがな!
ReplyDeleteYoonhaさん、はじめして。ジェレド なんば です。コロンビアだいがくの いちねんせい です。I was so excited when deciphering Hiragana became second nature.Now I can quickly read various things without hassle. Next up, dreadful Kanji :(. どうぞ よろしく。
ReplyDeleteI unfortunately am still sounding out each ひらがな but getting better. Good luck.
