Last PE3 Reflections

These were my PE 3 goals. 

• Shadow the materials on Blackboard as Shibata 先生 has suggested. 
• Practice free-speaking with my roommate Margaret Wang on a daily basis.
• Keep watching Japanese drama to familiarize myself with natural intonation and flow.
• Go to office hours to practice pitch and intonation.
• Study the usage of particles. 

Overall, I achieved most of my goals. I shadowed the suggested materials, which helped me with fixing my pitch problems. With Margaret, we spoke in Japanese as much as we could in our room. I watched the movie version of "Boys over Flowers." I also studied the confusing concepts of some particles. Because of schedule conflicts, I didn't get to go to office hours. I think practicing for the TV project helped a lot with speaking Japanese more naturally. It definitely helped to memorize the lines and speaking them without looking at the script. 

I will be studying abroad next semester in Australia, but I will continue to familiarize myself with Japanese by reviewing grammar and watching more dramas! :D  

クリスマス！

 冬休みはとてもくたのしかったです . クリスマスにりょうしんとケイキをたべて、ワインをのみましだ。テキサスはあついのであついのでホワイトクリスマスがありません。それまだ、ホットクリスマスもよかったです！
