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.
こんばんは!Reflctionは いいですね!I also have pitch problem, and am striving to improve it by watching and shadowing にほんの アニマル, as well as consulting せんせい for suggestions. がんばって!
