Goals:
I aim to improve my main conversational issue: pitch. While I am content with my rhythm, my pitch, especially near the end of sentences, fluctuates a good amount. I hope to improve my pitch control without losing the continuity and speed that I have come to speak with.
I intend to do this by getting a better grasp of common pitch patterns.
Activity Statement:
I will watch more Japanese language films, as I have found them not only enjoyable but very helpful when it comes to using correct pitch and learning conversational cues.
I also hope to do more shadowing as the semester continues, especially in casual speech, which is another area I am not proficient.
Though my schedule usually doesn't allow me to, I would like to go the language table as well.
