Japanese toilet prank

ココです。
The discussions about Japanese toilets reminded me of pranks with these toilets! I like the second prank.

PE6 Reflection and New Goals

ココです。
Reflection: The PE activities have definitely helped me improve the specifics of pitch that I could not isolate and work on from self-study. I think that my pronunciation, pitch pattern, and intonations have become much more comfortable in most settings. The shadowing was a new concept to me. Although I still make some pitch errors, I think it is not a big problem for now. The office hours and language table are of immense utility to me, and I have rarely missed a week for those events and opportunities, as it gave me the ability to practice what I wanted to improve on the most: speaking.

Goals:
Continue to work on pitch patterns in sentences, especially commonly used sentences in modern Japan.
Develop "common" pitch vocabulary so that shadowing and conversations can become as natural as possible.
Activities:
Listen to more Japanese speakers
Go to office hours once a week
Go to Mathey language table every week and Forbes language table every other week.

秋休み

ココです。
秋休みに家に帰りませんでした。アトランタはかなり遠いです。
でも、電車と地下鉄でニューヨークに行きました。旅行は二時間かかりました。
おじさんはクイーンズのワイトストンに住んでいます。ワイトストンは有名なフラッシングの近くにあります。

もちろん、たくさん寝ました。(朝が弱いです。)私の友達は帰ったので、ゲームをしませんでした。
あいかわらずアニメをたくさん見ました。
いま「キルラキル」を見ています。とても面白いです。

週末に少し漢字を勉強しました。

"It came! It finally came!!!!"
レミリア・スカーレットです。人形を買った。

夜は寒すぎ。だけど冬がすき。
おやすみ。
