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.
