Reflection & Review 3

Time flies. Half of semester passed and it's time to review the Statement of goal and activity.

Goal.

To be able to understand spoken Japanese with normal speed and medium length.
For polite speech, it seems ok for me to follow the normal-speed one. But the causal speech, based on the performance in dict-conversation, more practice is necessary.

To be able to speak Japanese with correct pronunciation and pitch in medium speed and medium length. Put more attention on accuracy.
Since speaking is always a weakness, more practice should be done. Since there is not too much chance to speak out of class, PE practice becomes important, and it should be enhanced further.

To be able to communicate with people with daily-life topics under daily-life environment.
Seems polite speech is ok, although sometime I might jam myself. Causal speech is still a problem.

To be able to understand written Japanese in long length. To be able to write medium length passage in Japanese.
Reading and writing seems more easier than speaking and listening.

Activity.

Review vocabulary every day.
Almost, hope to keep going.

Shadow the material on SE twice a week.
Almost. But in spring vacation, people became lazy...

Read extra reading material everyday (another textbook, news in Japanese, lyrics, etc.).
Didn't make a good work on this aspect. I'm considering replace this one with more operable one. But not figure out yet.

日本の印象（七）

銀閣寺の隣に、この「哲学の道」がある。日本の有名な哲学者西田幾多郎がよくこの通り道で散歩して考えしたので散歩しながら、考えたので、ここの名前は「哲学の道」になった。ここは商業街じゃないか、全然旅行の所じゃなさそうだ商業街でもなけねば、旅行の所でもない。一般の宅地だけど、特別な気持ち空気がある。静かな所がは何処にでもあるけど、旅人が来て来ると、静かな所は賑やかになる。でも、ここは違う。ここに来て、旅人の心は静かになる旅人はここに来ても、心は静かになったんだ。宗教の感じがもない、厳しい感じもない、ただ平和的な日常の気持ちだ。この空気に、どうな哲学は誕生した生み出した？気になった。

面白い装飾だね。

意味を分からない…（A：地蔵だ）

乗りたいけど、高い。あのお嬢さんは綺麗だ…

「ねこあつめ」。

神隠しの宅。

子供の簡単な遊園地。

緩く唄う

今日の口述試験の感じが悪かった。

緩くて優しい音楽を聞いて、反省する…
